| Obverse description | Central intaglio-printed vignette of a sailing ship at sea, flanked by a figure operating a capstan, set within an elaborate scrollwork arch bearing the legend 'Northern Banking Company Limited' and the founding date 'Established 1824'. The large guilloche underprint carries the denomination word 'TEN' in bold block letters across the centre of the note, with the promise-to-pay text and date inscribed above, and an extensive list of branch towns printed in small letterpress type below the vignette. Red serial numbers appear at left and right, with 'NORTHERN BANK LTD.' at the top and 'BELFAST' at the foot, flanked by the denomination 'TEN' in ornamental panels on each vertical margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by three intricately engraved guilloche rosettes arranged horizontally: a large central medallion and two smaller flanking vignettes, each enclosing the bank's cypher monogram within a lobed floral border. The central medallion bears the text 'Established 1824' around its inner ring. The design is otherwise uncluttered, relying entirely on the fine lathe-work geometry of the rosettes for its security and aesthetic effect. |
