| Obverse description | The right half of the obverse is dominated by an intaglio vignette of a mythical dragon-fish (a traditional Chinese auspicious creature), rendered in fine line engraving against a multicolour guilloche underprint in green and peach tones. To the left, a vertical dark green latticework border and a circular decorative rosette in green and blue are set against the note's pale ground. Central inscriptions in both English and Chinese present the bank's promise-to-pay text in italic script, with the denomination 'Ten Dollars / 拾圓' in bold letterpress, and the date and place of issue at lower centre flanked by two facsimile signatures. |
