| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the large numeral '10' in bold relief, with a stylized chrysanthemum blossom (the imperial seal of Japan) positioned to the lower right of the numeral. The legend '日本政府' (Government of Japan) curves along the upper periphery in Kanji characters, while the Shōwa era date '昭和二十一年' (Shōwa year 21) is inscribed along the lower periphery. The design is contained within a raised rim with a clean, milled border. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a stylized chrysanthemum flower (imperial seal) at top, flanked on either side by drooping rice plant (Oryza sativa) sprigs whose grain-laden stems curve downward to frame the denomination. The denomination '十錢' (10 Sen) is rendered in large Kanji numerals in the central field. The overall composition is symmetrical and characteristic of late Shōwa-era Japanese pattern coinage. |
