| Obverse description | An intaglio portrait of Alexander Hamilton occupies the central oval vignette, his name lettered beneath; to the left, a bold golden Treasury seal bears the overprint GOLD alongside the legal tender clause, with CERTIFICATE rendered in large gold gothic lettering above and below. The serial numbers appear twice in gold ink flanking the portrait, while a large lathe-work numeral TEN fills the right field, all enclosed within intricate guilloche borders carrying GOLD CERTIFICATE in the side margins. Below the portrait, SERIES OF 1928 and WASHINGTON, D.C. appear alongside two facsimile signatures. |

| Reverse description | Printed entirely in green intaglio, the reverse is dominated by a central architectural vignette of the United States Treasury Building, rendered with fine line engraving that captures the neoclassical colonnade in precise detail, with trees, a horse-drawn vehicle, and pedestrians in the foreground. Elaborate guilloche scrollwork fills the corner panels, each bearing the denomination TEN and numeral 10. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arches across the top of the design. |
