Obverse description	At left, a large numeral '10' enclosed within a decorative guilloche circle in light blue-violet; a corresponding legal text panel in a matching guilloche circle occupies the right. The central field carries the denomination text 'DIECI LIRE' in both numeral and word form as a repeated underprint in light brownish-red, set behind the principal black letterpress inscriptions bearing the note's legal and issuing authority legends. Series numbers appear at upper left and lower right, with serial numbers at upper right and lower left.

Reverse description	Two circular vignettes, each enclosing a portrait of Italia Turrita — the allegorical personification of Italy wearing a mural crown — face each other from the left and right of the field, the left portrait facing right and the right portrait facing left. The intervening space is filled with a continuous ornamental band in light blue containing the repeated inscription 'DIECI LIRE' and the numeral '10', linking the two vignettes across the centre.
