| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King Christian IX of Denmark, with truncation at the neck. The king's name and title appear as a circular legend reading CHRISTIAN IX KONGE AF DANMARK, with the engraver's initials VBP and the year of issue positioned below the bust. The portrait is rendered in a restrained neoclassical style characteristic of late nineteenth-century Scandinavian coinage. |

| Reverse description | The numeral 10 is prominently displayed in the upper field, with the denomination ØRE inscribed below in the centre. A porpoise appears to the left and a barley ear to the right, flanking the central denomination, while a six-pointed star is positioned at the top of the design. The overall composition is simple and heraldically balanced, reflecting the functional aesthetic of Danish circulation coinage of the Krone series. |
