| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black on white paper with a decorative border bearing the repeated legend VALE POR EXACCIONES EN LA GUERRA DE 1895 and SIN INTERES along the margins. At upper left, a classical allegorical vignette shows a seated female figure with a child and a palm frond; at lower left, a circular guilloche cartouche carries the numeral 10. The central text reads LA REPÚBLICA DE COLOMBIA followed by a manuscript-style passage acknowledging the bearer for DIEZ PESOS in war levies, with blanks for date and signatures of the Minister of Treasury and the Treasurer General. At lower right, an oval vignette with the Colombian coat of arms completes the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in brown on plain paper, with an elaborate ornamental border of interlocking floral and foliate motifs with trefoil corner ornaments and rosette medallions at the cardinal points. A central rectangular panel carries the bold inscription REPÚBLICA DE COLOMBIA above a line reading EL JEFE DE LA SECCIÓN 2ª; the lower margin bears the printer's imprint. The remainder of the central field is left blank, consistent with its trial or unissued status. |
