| Obverse description | Bare-headed left-facing effigy of Charles X, King of France, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curling hair and naturalistic portrait style characteristic of early Restoration coinage. The truncation of the neck is sharply cut, with the engraver's signature AMELING.F. inscribed below in small letters near the inner border. The circular legend CHARLES X ROI DE FRANCE runs around the periphery, divided on either side of the portrait. The coin is enclosed by a finely beaded inner border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this tin pattern essai is largely plain and unfinished, displaying a broad, flat field with no struck design or legend, consistent with its status as a uniface or incomplete pattern piece. The surface shows the characteristic mottled oxidation and irregular crazing typical of aged tin, with no decorative elements, inscriptions, or devices present. The plain edge transitions directly into the flat reverse field without any rim embellishment. |
