| Obverse description | Centre vignette presents an intaglio-style portrait of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, her name and life dates (1929–1994) inscribed below, set against a guilloche underprint incorporating a vignette of the White House at right. The ornate engraved border, typical of American Bank Note Company design tradition, frames the composition, with the denomination numeral '10' at each corner and two facsimile signatures below — those of the Treasurer and Secretary — flanking the central portrait. A green letterpress denomination 'TEN' appears as a colour underprint at right, with a star-studded blue guilloche pattern at left. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a composite scene evoking American space exploration: at left, an astronaut plants the United States flag on the lunar surface, while at right a Space Shuttle is shown in flight, with a panoramic view of Kennedy Space Center's launch facilities rendered in the background as a pale underprint. A facsimile script quotation attributed to Jacqueline Kennedy is inscribed in the upper field, below the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST', within the same elaborate engraved scrollwork border as the obverse, printed in green. |

This is a fantasy or novelty item, not a legal tender banknote. The United States has never issued currency bearing Jackie Kennedy's portrait, and no U.S. note of any denomination has carried her likeness through official channels. The Federal Reserve and Bureau of Engraving and Printing have strict protocols governing whose image may appear on currency — deceased presidents have historically dominated, with Harriet Tubman the only approved non-presidential change to U.S. paper money in recent memory, and even that remains unissued.
Franck Medina is a French artist known for producing elaborately designed fantasy notes in standard banknote dimensions, often featuring American cultural figures. The watermark is decorative rather than security-functional.
