| Obverse description | The Polish state eagle displayed at center, crowned and with wings spread, rendered in high relief against a radiant sunburst field of incuse rays emanating from behind the device toward the coin's rim. The circular legend RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA arcs around the upper portion of the field, while the denomination 10 ZŁOTYCH and the mint year appear in the lower field beneath the eagle's talons. The overall design conveys a strong nationalistic and heraldic character consistent with the interwar Polish aesthetic. |

| Reverse description | A bold, high-relief left-facing portrait bust of Marshal Józef Piłsudski, statesman and military commander, depicted in uniform with decorations visible at the collar. The effigy dominates the full field of the coin with no surrounding legend, giving the portrait a commanding, medallic presence. The engraver's signature of Stanisław Kazimierz Ostrowski appears discreetly in the lower right field. The plain field surrounding the bust accentuates the sculptural depth and strong characterization of Piłsudski's distinctive features, including his prominent brow and mustache. |
