| Obverse description | Grey-black intaglio note with an elaborate guilloche border framing the entire design. At left, an oval vignette contains a classical female figure in a plumed helmet, rendered in fine line engraving; at right, a smaller oval vignette bears a crowned heraldic animal on a shield. The bank name HELSINGLANDS ENSKILDA BANK arches across the upper centre, with the denomination expressed in bold letterpress as KRONOR TIO KRONOR across the middle, flanked by numeral 10 corner pieces. The place and date of issue, Söderhamn 1879, appear below the central denomination panel, with three manuscript signatures beneath. |
