| Obverse description | At center, a Cedar of Lebanon — the national symbol — rendered in high relief with detailed layered branches, occupying the majority of the field. The denomination numerals in Eastern Arabic script flank the tree to the upper left and upper right, with the word 'Qirush' arching above. The legend 'Al-Jumhuriyyah al-Lubnaniyyah' (Lebanese Republic) curves along the lower periphery in Arabic script, with the date 1955 in Eastern Arabic numerals appearing just above it. The design is enclosed within a continuous beaded border. |

| Reverse description | At center, a Phoenician galley sailing to the right is depicted in fine detail, showing a horse-head prow, a large billowing sail, oars, and a helmsman at the stern, with stylized waves below the hull. The denomination '10 PIASTRES' arches across the upper field in bold Latin letters, flanked by a five-pointed star to each side. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE LIBANAISE' curves around the lower periphery, with the date 1955 appearing in the lower center field between two small ornamental devices. The entire design is framed by a beaded border. |
