| Obverse description | Central device depicts the eagle of Quraish, the national emblem of the Yemen Arab Republic, displayed with wings spread and bearing a shield on its breast, flanked by two crossed ceremonial rifles with bayonets below. The eagle is surrounded by an Arabic legend along the upper arc reading the country name, with the denomination '10R' and its Arabic equivalent '١٠ ريال' centered below the device, flanked by the dual date '1969 - ١٩٦٩'. The inscription 'YEMEN ARAB REPUBLIC' curves along the lower periphery in Latin characters. The coin is struck in proof quality, with a beaded inner border framing the entire design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features three gazelles in full gallop rendered in high relief, depicted leaping in sequence from left to right across the field, conveying a sense of fluid motion and naturalistic grace. Below the gazelles, a stylized band of vegetation or grass tufts runs along the lower portion of the field. The design is unlettered and occupies the full coin face within a beaded border, with the mirror-like proof fields providing strong contrast to the frosted relief of the animals. |
