| Obverse description | At left, a finely engraved intaglio portrait vignette reproduces the male figure from Andrea del Castagno's painting 'Ritratto d'uomo', set against an intricate geometric guilloche underprint with diamond-pattern latticework. The issuer's name 'BANCA D'ITALIA' appears in bold letterpress across the central field, flanked below by the Governor's and Cashier's signature lines and a circular heraldic seal at right. The denomination 'LIRE DIECIMILA' and numeral '10000' occupy the upper portion, with engraver and designer credits — 'T. CIONINI INC.' and 'GIO. PINO INV.' — at the lower corners. |

| Reverse description | An intaglio architectural vignette at right renders ornamental façade elements of the Church of Gesù Nuovo in Naples, with characteristic rusticated stonework and decorative sculptural detailing. At left, a secondary vignette presents a doorway framed within ashlar masonry, the two compositions unified by a fine guilloche underprint throughout the note. The denomination '10000' appears in the lower corners alongside the printing authority inscription, the anti-counterfeiting warning, and the engraver credit 'A. CANFARINI INC.' along the lower margin. |
