Obverse description	A sweeping bird's-eye vignette of the port and urban quarters of Casablanca occupies the central field, rendered in a detailed multicolour intaglio style with the harbour, quays, and city grid extending to the horizon. The issuer's name BANQUE D'ÉTAT DU MAROC appears across the top in bold letterpress, with the denomination 10.000 at upper right and DIX MILLE FRANCS in large red letterpress at the foot. An ornamental guilloche border with repeating decorative motifs frames the entire composition, with serial number and series prefix repeated in each corner.

Reverse description	The central vignette presents the Menara Pavilion in Marrakech, its green-tiled roof reflected in the still waters of the basin, set against a backdrop of the Atlas Mountains, rendered in fine intaglio engraving with a warm blue and ochre palette. Flanking the pavilion on the left is an ornate Moorish arcade with polychrome tilework, while an arched architectural surround at top frames the Arabic inscription giving the bank name and denomination. Three manuscript signatures appear at the lower centre beneath their respective Arabic title designations, with the engravers' credits A. MAILLART FEC. and J. PIEL – G. POILLIOT SC. at the lower margins.
