| Obverse description | Central intaglio vignette of a ploughman guiding a horse-drawn plough across a field, rendered in fine line engraving in blue-grey tones, with the denomination £10 displayed in an ornate cartouche at centre. Bilingual text in English and Irish Gaelic appears at top and bottom, with the issuing bank name 'THE MUNSTER & LEINSTER BANK LIMITED' in bold letterpress below the vignette. Serial number and date appear in the lower margin, with a manuscript signature of the Currency Commission chairman above the central vignette. |

| Reverse description | Central intaglio vignette of a neoclassical building facade — the Currency Commission offices — framed within an elaborate guilloche border of interlocking scrollwork in blue-grey tones. The denomination £10 appears in ornate numeral cartouches to the left and right of the central architectural vignette. The overall design is unlettered, relying entirely on the architectural engraving and decorative guilloche surround. |
