Obverse description	Intaglio portrait of King Sobhuza II in traditional Swazi regalia occupies the left third of the note, set against a multicolour guilloche underprint in blue, orange, and green. At centre, a large circular vignette bears the denomination numeral '10' flanked by crossed assegais and the inscription 'LALISHUMI EMALANGENI' in a decorative surround, with a vignette of the Monetary Authority building and an elephant below. The issuing authority legend 'MONETARY AUTHORITY OF SWAZILAND' arches across the top, with two signature panels for the Minister for Finance and the Governor at lower centre-right, and a crowned lion device at lower left.
