| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is laid out in a symmetrical letterpress composition with ornate floral and scrollwork borders framing the note on all sides. A central oval vignette at the top depicts a rural figural scene, flanked by two smaller lateral vignettes — a church tower and landscape to the left, and a pastoral scene to the right — all rendered in fine intaglio engraving. The bank title BANQUE POPULAIRE DE LA BROYE is set in bold letterpress across the upper centre, with the denomination DIX FRANCS inscribed below in large display script, and three manuscript signature lines at the foot for the President, Cashier, and Acting Secretary. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is largely plain paper, heavily aged and worn, with no printed vignette or decorative element. A manuscript inscription along the left margin reads "Mis en circulation le" followed by a handwritten date, indicating the note's date of issue into circulation. The surface shows deep fold lines and significant overall wear consistent with extended circulation use. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Banque Populaire de La Broye was one of several short-lived cantonal note-issuing banks that proliferated in the Fribourg and Vaud region during the 1860s, operating in a legal window before Switzerland's move toward federal monetary consolidation. These regional institutions were granted circulation rights largely to serve local agricultural credit needs, and their notes rarely traveled far from the issuing district.
Swiss federal banking reform in 1881 — and the eventual creation of the Swiss National Bank in 1907 — rendered all such cantonal paper obsolete. Surviving examples from La Broye are uncommon; provincial redemption drives were thorough, and rural circulation meant heavy use before retirement.
