Obverse description The obverse is divided into three main decorative zones separated by intricate guilloche rosettes in red and black. At upper left, a large red ornamental medallion contains the Roman numeral 'X'; at upper right, a corresponding '10' numeral. The central vignette presents an allegorical seated female figure beside national emblems, flanked by the serial number 'No.' printed twice in red. At lower left, a second allegorical vignette shows a seated female figure with a cornucopia; at lower right, a sunburst guilloche underprint fills the corner. The body of the note carries manuscript date and handwritten signatures below the principal text block.

Reverse description The reverse is printed entirely in black intaglio on a dense lathe-work background of repeating 'DIEZ' and '10' lettering that fills the entire field. At center, a large circular guilloche frame encloses a text block with the bank's guarantee statement, and the serial number is repeated below it. Oversized outlined numeral '10' figures dominate the left and right panels, rendered in a bold counterchange style against the fine-line geometric underprint. The printer's imprint appears at the foot of the note.
