The coin is disc-shaped, yellow in color and has ledges along the rim on both sides – obverse and reverse. The material of the coin has no ferromagnetic characteristics.
The obverse:

- to the right below, under the front hoof of the horse - the Cyrillic letters M (Moscow) or C-II (Saint Petersburg), indicating the mint-producer;
- above from the left to the right – the inscription along the rim: "БАНК РОССИИ" (BANK OF RUSSIA) divided by the figure of Saint George the Warrior;
- below under the figure of the serpent – the year of mintage.
The reverse:
- in the center, a little to the right – the denomination of the coin: the figure 10, under it – the word "КОПЕEК" (KOPECKS) written horizontal;
