| Obverse description | Central field displays the denomination X (10 Réis) flanked by decorative floral ornaments, with the date below, all enclosed within a beaded circle surmounted by a royal crown. A small crowned shield countermark, applied during the revaluation from 5 to 10 Réis, is struck within the central design. The outer legend names the issuing sovereign in Latin, reading MARIA·I·D·G·P·ET·BRASILIÆ·REGINA, identifying Maria I as Queen of Portugal and Brazil by the Grace of God. |

| Reverse description | The central device depicts a boldly struck armillary sphere — the traditional symbol of the Portuguese Empire and of Brazil — rendered in fine detail with intersecting rings, meridians, and a horizontal equatorial band, mounted on a base. The surrounding circular legend in Latin reads PECUNIA·TOT·ORBE·CIRCUM·ACTA, meaning 'Money circulates around the entire world.' The coin lacks a mintmark. A dentilated border frames the entire design. |
