| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in shades of purple and mauve on a light underprint. A central intaglio vignette presents a panoramic landscape of the Gauja River valley with a wooded islet in the foreground and gently rolling hills receding into the distance. The bank title LATVIJAS BANKAS NAUDAS ZĪME is set in bold lettering across the upper margin, while the denomination numeral 10 appears in a solid purple panel at the upper right. At lower left, a large guilloche-infused numeral 10 forms the principal design element, with the denomination spelled out in full as DESMIT LATU in bold dark lettering along the bottom. The issuer name LATVIJAS BANKA and a facsimile signature appear at lower centre alongside a repeated serial number. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is executed in deep purple and violet tones over a fine guilloche underprint composed of repeating numeral 10 patterns. The central vignette presents an elaborate ornamental brooch or fibula — a traditional Latvian decorative clasp — rendered in intricate intaglio work against layered guilloche bands. At lower right, the Latvian state coat of arms is engraved in fine detail, flanked by a lion and a griffin. The date 1992 appears in purple numerals below the coat of arms, and the legend LATVIJAS BANKAS NAUDAS ZĪME is inscribed at the lower centre, with DESMIT LATU and the denomination numeral 10 placed at the upper portion of the note. |
