| Obverse description | A goitered gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa), specifically the Sand Gazelle subspecies (Gazella subgutturosa marica), depicted in profile walking to the right, rendered in fine relief against an unadorned field. The Arabic legend naming the joint issuing authority and the dual dates — Hijri and Gregorian — are inscribed above the animal. The design, engraved by Christopher Ironside, is executed in a clean, naturalistic style characteristic of mid-twentieth-century British coin artistry. |

| Obverse lettering | ١٣٨٦ · ١٩٦٦ قطر و دبى (Translation: 1966 · 1387 Qatar and Dubai) |
| Reverse description | The numeral '١٠' (10) in large Arabic-Indic script dominates the central field, with the Arabic denomination 'دراهم' (Dirhams) inscribed immediately below in smaller lettering. The issuer name 'QATAR AND DUBAI' appears in raised Latin capitals along the lower periphery, following the curve of the rim. An ornamental scalloped border with interspersed pellets frames the upper portion of the design, providing decorative definition to the field. The overall composition is bold and legible, consistent with the functional design principles applied across this series. |
