| Reverse description | Central field displays the denomination numeral 10 in large bold characters above the Greek inscription ΛΕΠΤΑ, with ΔΙΩΒΟΛΟΝ arching across the top of the field. The entire central design is encircled by a wreath of olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow, their berried sprays extending symmetrically on either side. The word ESSAI, flanked by small decorative stops, appears below the denomination within the wreath, identifying this piece as a pattern or trial strike. A toothed border frames the entire reverse design. |
