| Obverse description | Brown on white paper, retaining the engraved vignette of the underlying Republica de Chile state issue — a seated allegorical female figure holding a shield at left — with a circular overprinted seal of the Banco Central de Chile at right. Multiple typographic overprints assert the new monetary authority: the bank name at top, the revalued denomination in Condores below the original peso figure, a bar overprint cancelling the "por el Estado" clause, and the legend "BILLETE PROVISIONAL" across the centre. The issuing date of 10 December 1925 is overprinted at centre, completing the conversion of the original state note to a provisional central bank emission. |

| Reverse description | Printed in green on white paper, the reverse is composed entirely of intricate lathe-work guilloche patterns arranged symmetrically across the field. A large central oval medallion framed by elaborate scrollwork and foliate ornaments is flanked at left by a circular guilloche rosette and at right by a scalloped panel bearing the large numeral "10". The denomination legend "DIEZ PESOS" appears in cartouches at the top and bottom of the central medallion, with the printer's imprint "IMP. FISCAL CHILE" in small capitals along the lower margin. |
| Reverse lettering | DIEZ PESOS 10 IMP. FISCAL_CHILE. (Translation: Ten Pesos 10 Fiscal Press Chile) |
