| Obverse description | The central field bears the interlaced royal cypher of King Christian X of Denmark, formed by the intertwined letters C and X beneath a detailed Danish royal crown, rendered in a bold, elegant style. The monogram dominates the field and is surmounted by the crown, which features arches, crosses, and fleurs-de-lis in fine relief. The mint master's initials and engraver's initials appear at the lower left and lower right of the field respectively, flanking the date. A beaded border encircles the entire design. The coin was struck during the reign of Christian X, who ruled Denmark from 1912 to 1947. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination numeral '10' in large, bold figures occupying the upper field, with the currency unit 'ØRE' inscribed in stylised letters below, the Ø character rendered with characteristic Art Nouveau-influenced lettering. Decorative scrollwork and volute ornaments flank the denomination inscription on either side, while a row of small circular pellets forms an ornamental band at the base. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border running along the coin's rim, creating a clean and legible composition typical of early twentieth-century Danish coinage. |
