| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a large central sunburst guilloche rosette in orange and yellow tones, set against a pale geometric underprint. The issuing authority inscription 'INSTITUT D'EMISSION DES ETATS DU CAMBODGE DU LAOS ET DU VIETNAM' runs across the top, with the denomination 'DIX PIASTRES' in bold letterpress to the right. Ornate intaglio-printed scroll borders frame the note on all sides, with two facsimile signatures appearing below the central vignette under the titles 'LE PRESIDENT' and 'UN ADMINISTRATEUR'. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vignette of a dramatic karst limestone rock formation rising from calm waters, rendered in soft pink and mauve tones — a scene reminiscent of Ha Long Bay. To the right of the vignette, a central ornamental cartouche with intricate foliate scrollwork serves as the primary decorative element. The denomination appears in three languages across the note: Vietnamese 'MUOI DONG', Khmer, and Lao script, beneath the issuing authority name 'VIEN PHAT HANH'. |
