| Reverse description | The right half of the reverse is occupied by a colour photographic vignette of the Sanislau Orthodox Church, set within a scalloped guilloche medallion, showing the twin-towered facade in warm light. The left field carries the full text of the Lord's Prayer in Romanian script, framed above and below by ornamental flourishes in dark red. A stylised Orthodox cross device appears centrally between the text and the church vignette; the denomination '10 ZECE LEI' is rendered in bold lettering at lower left, and the serial number is repeated vertically in red along the left margin. |
| Reverse lettering | 10 ZECE LEI Tatăl nostru, care ești în ceruri! Sfințească-se Numele Tău; vie împărăția Ta; facă-se voia Ta, precum în cer așa și pe pământ. Pâinea noastră cea de toate zilele dă-ne-o nouă astăzi; și ne iartă nouă greșelile noastre, precum și noi iertăm greșiților noștri, și nu ne duce pe noi în ispită, ci ne izbăvește de cel rău. Căci a Ta este Împărăția și puterea și slava în veci. Amin 10 (Translation: Our Father, who art in heaven! Hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen) |

Romania's National Bank has been running its "Romanian Cultural Heritage" commemorative series for several years, issuing polymer and paper notes tied to specific architectural and religious sites. A paper-composition entry in 2025 is an unusual choice — the NBR shifted almost entirely to polymer for commemorative issues after the mid-2010s, so the material itself warrants attention when examining this piece.
The Orthodox church at Sânislău in Satu Mare County is a modest rural monument, not one of the country's marquee heritage sites. Its selection suggests the series is deliberately cycling through less prominent regional landmarks rather than revisiting national icons.
