| Obverse description | At right, a finely rendered intaglio vignette presents a Cairo street scene with a mosque minaret rising above surrounding architecture. The centre carries bilingual text in Arabic and English, including the statutory promise-to-pay clause and place of issue 'CAIRO', flanked at left by a large ornate guilloche underprint numeral '10'. Two serial numbers appear on the face, with the Governor's manuscript signature at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is covered by an elaborate intaglio geometric and floral composition of interlocking diamond and lozenge frames filled with dense arabesque scrollwork, with rosette ornaments at the corners and radiating sunburst guilloche patterns. A central rectangular panel bears the bank name in Arabic script, while denomination numerals '10' occupy the upper-left and lower-right corners with Arabic marginal inscriptions completing the design. |
