| Obverse description | Crudely struck irregular klippe field bearing the Roman numeral 'X' denoting the denomination, with the date 1610 inscribed below or adjacent, applied in a rudimentary fashion characteristic of emergency siege coinage. A small oval or circular counterstamp or punch mark appears in the field, likely a municipal or authority validation mark. The surfaces are rough and unfinished, reflecting the exigent circumstances of production during the siege of Jülich. |

| Reverse description | Plain, unworked silver surface showing no intentional design or inscription, consistent with the improvised nature of this siege emergency issue. The reverse retains visible hammer marks and the rough texture of the cut silver planchet, with a small raised square punch mark visible, typical of hastily produced klippes struck under wartime conditions during the 1610 siege of Jülich. |
