| Obverse description | Central device depicts a traditional Arabian dhow under full sail navigating stylized waves, set against two tall date palms rising from a coastal bank, rendered in crisp relief. The composition evokes Qatar's historic maritime and agricultural heritage. The field is framed by a fine inner beaded border. The Arabic legend "دولة قطر" (State of Qatar) is inscribed in a curved arc along the lower portion of the field. The dual dates "١٣٩٣ · ١٩٧٣" (AH 1393 / AD 1973) appear in Arabic-Indic and Western numerals along the upper periphery, separated by a central dot. |

| Reverse description | The central field bears the denomination "١٠" (10) in large Arabic-Indic numerals above the Arabic word "دراهم" (Dirhams), both rendered in bold relief. The design is enclosed within an ornate inner border composed of alternating crescent motifs and pellets arranged in a scalloped ring pattern, giving the reverse a distinctly decorative Islamic character. The Latin legend "STATE OF QATAR" is inscribed along the lower arc of the coin, between the inner border and the smooth outer rim. |
