Reverse

The central part features the lesser coat of arms of the Austrian Empire: a double-headed eagle with spread wings, its heads crowned, above them the Crown of Saint Stephen. In its right talon, the eagle holds a sword and scepter; in its left, an orb. On its chest is the familial heraldic shield of Habsburg-Lorraine, encircled by a chain. Below, the number 10 is within a frame. The frame is flanked on the right by a palm branch and on the left by a laurel branch. Along the edge of the coin, an inscription in Latin reads: 'HVN∙BOH∙GAL∙REX∙A∙A∙D∙LO∙SAL∙WIRC∙1810∙' (King of Hungary, Bohemia, Galicia, Archduke of Austria, Dalmatia, Lodomeria, Salzburg, Würzburg 1810). The rim is decorated with decorative denticles.

Obverse

Centered is the right-facing profile of Emperor of the Austrian Empire, King of Hungary and Bohemia, Francis II, wearing a laurel wreath tied with a ribbon. On either side of the portrait are semicircular laurel branches. Below the truncation is the Latin letter 'A' – the mint mark of the Vienna Mint. Along the rim, the inscription 'Francis I, by the Grace of God, Emperor of Austria' in Latin is split into two parts: on the right 'FRANCISCVS I∙D∙G∙', on the left 'AVST∙IMPERATOR∙'. The rim is decorated with raised decorative denticles.
