| Obverse description | Central field features the traditional Nepalese royal cipher within a square cartouche divided into six panels, each containing Devanagari inscriptions spelling the royal name and title of King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev. The cartouche is flanked by ornamental devices including conch shells, a flame, and a crescent, all set within a circular border of beads. The Vikram Samvat year 2040 appears at the base of the central design. The overall composition follows the classical Nepalese numismatic style with a dotted outer rim. |

| Reverse description | A detailed relief depiction of Mount Everest dominates the centre of the reverse, showing the snow-capped peak and surrounding Himalayan ridgeline in a naturalistic style. Above the mountain, a Devanagari legend arcs around the upper field, with a small trident symbol at its centre. Below the mountain, the denomination is inscribed in both Devanagari script and Roman numerals (Rs 10), with 'NEPAL' beneath. Flanking the sides of the field, the English inscription 'ASCENT OF MT. EVEREST 1953–83' curves along the left and right rims respectively, within a beaded border. |
