The obverse carries the thematic concept 'Time' as an expression of Swiss organizational talent, centred on a conductor's hand grasping a baton against an intricate guilloche underprint. A globe rendered in the form of world time zones occupies the right portion of the design, reinforcing the temporal motif. The denomination '10' and the issuing bank's name appear in all four national languages alongside security microprinting. |

The reverse illustrates Switzerland's precision rail network through a vignette of tunnel portals set within a richly detailed architectural and topographic composition, emblematic of the country's engineering organisation. To the right, the intricate movement of a mechanical watch is rendered in fine intaglio, serving as a direct reference to the note's overarching time-keeping theme. The denomination '10' and the bank's name in French and Italian, along with the designer's name and printer's imprint, are arranged along the lower margin. |

Manuela Pfrunder's designs broke sharply from the 8th series conventions, generating genuine public debate about the direction of Swiss visual identity in official documents.
Durasafe, the hybrid substrate developed by Landqart, combines paper with a polymer core — stiffer than pure polymer, more durable than cotton alone. Switzerland was among the earliest adopters at a national level.
