| Obverse description | Central device features a large imperial crown rendered in high relief, positioned prominently in the center of the field. The crown is of the St. Edward's type, with arched bands and jeweled detailing characteristic of mid-Victorian engraving. A circular legend reading GOVERNMENT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA surrounds the central device, with a small five-pointed star as a separator at the base of the legend. The design is executed in a plain, unadorned field typical of pattern coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination and date in two lines at the center of the field, reading 10 DOLLARS above 1862, positioned within a wreath. The wreath, composed of laurel or similar foliage, encircles the central inscriptions and is tied at the base. The engraver's signature KUNER A. appears within or adjacent to the design, consistent with Kuner's known practice of signing his pattern work. The overall composition is clean and typographically formal, befitting a colonial pattern issue intended for official consideration. |
