| Obverse description | Printed in olive-grey on white paper, the note displays the Swedish royal coat of arms as a central vignette at the top, flanked by corner vignettes with allegorical figures and ornate engine-turned guilloche borders. The denomination "TIO" appears in bold letterpress within the central text panel, accompanied by the issuing bank name in elaborate calligraphic script and the promise-to-pay text in Swedish. Two oval guilloche panels bearing the numeral "10" are positioned at the left and right margins, with the place, date, and two manuscript signatures at the foot of the note. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is a mirror-image letterpress impression of the obverse, printed in the same olive-grey tone, characteristic of the double-sided printing technique used for Swedish banknotes of this era. The royal coat of arms vignette appears at the top centre, with the bank name in calligraphic script and the denomination text visible in reverse orientation. Corner vignettes and the oval "10" side panels replicate the obverse layout, the whole serving as a security measure against counterfeiting by allowing the text to show through the paper. |
