| Opschrift voorzijde | 10 EL BANCO ESPAÑOL DE LA HABANA á la presentación de este billete pagará al portador DIEZ pesos fuertes en efectivo. Habana, 20 de Dbre. de 1869. (Translation: The Spanish Bank of Havana Upon presentation of this note, the bearer will be paid Ten Pesos Fuertes in cash. Havana, December 20, 1869.) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is essentially unprinted, presenting a plain paper surface. A large red-ink cancellation cross is drawn diagonally across the entire face, and a circular violet official control stamp bearing the numeral "10" and a legible legend referencing cancellation of the billete is applied at centre. Two handwritten "Es inutil" ("It is worthless") cancellation inscriptions appear in the upper and lower fields, and three punch-hole cancellations are visible along the bottom edge, consistent with standard administrative demonetization procedures. |

The Banco Español de la Habana occupied an awkward position in colonial Cuba — nominally a private institution, it functioned as the crown's financial instrument on the island, and its notes circulated under the persistent shadow of Spanish fiscal mismanagement. The 1869–1871 dating bracket places this note squarely within the Ten Years' War, Cuba's first major independence uprising, which wrecked trade, disrupted sugar revenues, and strained confidence in paper currency across the island.
ABNC held the printing contract throughout this period, producing notes of characteristically high engraving quality at their New York facilities — a political irony not lost on Cuban insurgents that the colony's money was manufactured in the United States.
