The coin has a circular hole at its centre. The obverse side features floral decorations, with the chrysanthemum crest (a symbol of the Japanese Emperor) above the hole and the paulownia crest (a national emblem of Japan) below it. The left and right sides of the coin are inscribed with the denomination “十錢” (10 Sen) in Japanese kanji.
