Obverse lettering	EL BANCO ESPAÑOL DE LA ISLA DE CUBA a la presentacion de este billete pagará al portador DIEZ pesos fuertes en metálico. HABANA, 15 de Mayo de 1896 El Gobernador / El Consejero / El Cajero (Translation: The Spanish Bank of the Island of Cuba — on presentation of this note will pay the bearer TEN strong pesos in coin. Havana, 15 May 1896)
Reverse description	The reverse repeats the central ox-cart vignette within the same intaglio-printed composition as the obverse, framed by guilloche rosettes bearing the numeral "10" in each upper corner and a continuous border of repeated numerals "10" along all edges. The bank title and denomination underprint are rendered in dark ink against the green guilloche background, giving the note a near-identical appearance to the face, a design choice typical of American Bank Note Company issues of the period.
