| Obverse description | At the top centre, the ornate coat of arms of El Banco Español Filipino is flanked by the numeral '10' set within circular frames on either side. The central text reads 'DIEZ PESOS FUERTE' in bold letterpress, beneath which the bank's full name and its promise to pay the bearer appear in a formal serif typeface. The entire composition is framed by an intricate guilloche border with fine geometric underprint patterns throughout. |
