Obverse description Typeset note with an ornate letterpress-printed border composed of intricate guilloche and foliate scroll work in olive-brown tones, enclosing a central text panel on a lightly tinted ground. The canton arms of Fribourg appear at the top centre within the decorative frame, flanked by the bold denomination numeral '10' repeated on the left and right in cartouches. The lower portion contains ruled lines for the manuscript date, serial number, series designation, and three signature spaces assigned to the Caissier, the Président du Conseil de Surveillance, and the Directeur respectively; a further emission line is printed along the bottom margin.
