| Obverse description | The obverse features a typographic design with the country name legend 'DEUTSCHE DEMOKRATISCHE REPUBLIK' arranged in three lines across the upper field in bold capital letters. The large numeral '10' dominates the centre of the field, flanked to the left by the date '1974' and to the right by the denomination 'MARK'. The Berlin Mint mark 'A' appears at the bottom of the field below the numeral. The overall design is stark and modernist, relying entirely on lettering and numerals without figurative imagery. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the state emblem of the German Democratic Republic in the lower centre of the field, comprising a hammer and compass encircled by a wreath of rye ears bound with a ribbon, rendered in fine detail. Above the emblem, the commemorative dates '1949' and '1974' are separated by a horizontal rule, marking the 25th anniversary of the GDR's founding. Flanking the central motifs, a continuous circular legend reads 'ALLES MIT DEM VOLK' along the upper periphery and 'ALLES FÜR DAS VOLK' along the lower periphery, separated by raised dots at each side. |
