| Obverse description | The central vignette presents an intaglio-engraved rural scene of a ploughman guiding a horse-drawn plough across a field, with two horses rendered in fine detail against a landscape background; the denomination '£10' appears in ornate gothic script at centre, flanked by '£10' numerals in guilloche cartouches at lower left and right. Bilingual legends in English and Irish run across the top border and lower panel, with the issuing bank name in bold letterpress at foot, and the Chairman's signature printed above the central vignette. |
