| Obverse description | Plain field bearing four large Chinese characters arranged in a cruciform layout around a central raised dot: 拾 (ten) at upper left, 金 (gold) at upper right, 幣 (coin/currency) at lower left, and 元 (yuan/dollar) at lower right. The legends are rendered in bold relief in a traditional calligraphic style. The design is entirely typographic with no portraiture or additional decorative elements. The field is bounded by a continuous inner beaded border running close to the rim. |

| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a single large Chinese character 滇 (the classical abbreviation for Yunnan Province) rendered in bold calligraphic relief. The character is framed by a wreath composed of two symmetrical rice stalks, their heavily grained ears arching upward and outward from a tied base at the bottom of the field, meeting at the upper portion of the design. The overall composition is emblematic and uncluttered, reflecting the austere style typical of Republican-era provincial patterns. The design is enclosed by a continuous beaded border following the coin's circumference. |
