Obverse description Central field features the denomination '6*C' enclosed within a circular ouroboros (serpent devouring its own tail), a distinctive republican emblem. The surrounding legend reads 'REPUBLIQUE D'HAYTI' around the upper periphery and 'AN 10' at the lower periphery, denoting the tenth year of the Haitian republic. The lettering is rendered in rudimentary relief characteristic of early Haitian coinage, with dot separators punctuating the inscriptions.

Reverse description The reverse displays the Haitian coat of arms in low relief, featuring a central palm tree flanked by two cannon and cannonballs at the base, with trophies of arms arranged on either side. The composition reflects the republican and revolutionary symbolism adopted by early independent Haiti, executed in a primitive but distinctive engraving style consistent with the period of early national coinage.
