| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in rose-purple tones and dominated by a large numeral 10 at left centre set over a dense guilloche background, with a vignette of agricultural and craft implements — including a sheaf of wheat, a beehive, a basket, and tools — arranged at right centre. The denomination is repeated in four languages in separate panels: ZEHN Ks (German), DESAŤ KORUN SLOVENSKÝCH (Slovak), ДЕСЯТЬ Кs (Rusyn/Ukrainian), and TÍZ Ks (Hungarian). A continuous microtext border band running along all four edges repeats SLOVENSKA REPUBLIKA and DESAŤ KORUN SLOVENSKÝCH, with the full denomination KORUN SLOVENSKÝCH inscribed in large letterpress along the lower margin. |

The Slovak State's 1943 note series was produced entirely by Neografia in Turčiansky Svätý Martin — one of the few instances in wartime Central Europe where a collaborationist government managed domestic banknote production without relying on German or other Axis printing houses. Neografia had been established as a Slovak cultural and publishing enterprise decades earlier, and its adaptation to security printing under the wartime regime gave the Slovak State an unusual degree of monetary self-sufficiency for such a small and politically compromised entity.
The P#6 is the third denomination in this series and circulated through the full remaining lifespan of the Slovak State, right up to liberation in 1945.
