Obverse description	Olive-brown note with an ornate guilloche border enclosing a central vignette of a stylised Indochinese mythological creature — a winged, multi-headed beast rendered in a traditional decorative idiom — with the denomination numeral '10' repeated in circular cartouches at upper left and right. A beaded underprint medallion at centre carries the inscription '10 CENTS', flanked by facsimile signatures of the Trésorier Général and the Directeur des Finances. The lower panel bears the legend 'DIX CENTS' in bold letterpress, with the designer's credit 'PHAM-NGOC-KHUE' and the printer's imprint 'IDEO – HANOI' in the bottom margin.

Reverse description	Olive-yellow and brown note with a dense geometric diamond-pattern border framing a central vignette of two crossed rice stalks tied at the base with a decorative scroll, set against a pale guilloche underprint. The denomination appears in Vietnamese as 'MỘT HÀO' at upper left, in Khmer numerals at upper right and lower left, and in Chinese characters at lower right. A central text panel carries the anti-counterfeiting legal warning citing Article 139 of the Penal Code.
