| Obverse description | Hand-stamped Mexican national arms occupying the central field, depicting the republican eagle perched on a cactus and devouring a serpent, rendered in a crude but recognizable primitive style. Below the arms, the issuer's initials 'RM' appear in large incuse letters within the lower field. The overall design reflects the emergency hand-stamping technique characteristic of revolutionary-period Mexican necessity coinage. |

| Reverse description | The large numeral '10' dominates the upper portion of the field in bold, hand-stamped relief, denoting the denomination in centavos. Centered beneath the numeral is a hand-stamped centavo sign ('¢'), consisting of a stylized 'C' with a vertical stroke, serving as the currency indicator. The overall execution is crude and characteristic of emergency necessity issues produced during the Mexican Revolutionary period, with significant surface irregularities consistent with hand-stamping on crudely prepared planchets. |
