| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Romanian coat of arms at center: a quartered shield featuring the eagle of Wallachia, the aurochs head of Moldavia, the dolphin of the Danube, and the lion of Oltenia, surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is supported on the left by a female figure in classical dress and on the right by a rampant lion, both standing upon a decorative scrollwork base. A princely mantle with tasseled cords frames the entire composition above, topped by a regal crown. The legend ROMANIA arcs along the upper periphery in large Latin letters, while the motto NIHIL SINE DEO appears on a ribbon scroll at the base of the arms. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents the denomination and date in three bold lines across the center of the field: the numeral 10 above, BANI in the middle, and the year 1867 below. The central legend is encircled by a wreath composed of an olive branch on the left and an oak branch on the right, tied together at the base with a ribbon bow. The mint name WATT & CO. appears in small letters beneath the wreath at the lower exergue, identifying the Smethwick manufacturer responsible for this variety. |
