Two oval vignettes flank the central text panel: at left, a seated classical female allegory upon a throne, and at right, a standing female figure holding flowers, with the denomination numeral '10' repeated in each corner and the word 'TEN' at the lateral borders; Sinhalese and Tamil script inscriptions appear between the vignettes. |

| Anmerkungen |
The Oriental Bank Corporation collapsed in May 1884 — one of the most spectacular bank failures in British colonial history. Overexposed across India, Ceylon, and the Far East, the OBC went into liquidation with liabilities that dwarfed its reserves, leaving note holders across multiple territories scrambling for redemption. Notes issued from the Badulla branch in Ceylon's hill country, serving the tea and coffee planting districts, would have circulated among estate managers, merchants, and suppliers rather than passing through any major commercial center.
The 1881–1884 date window means any surviving example from this branch was issued in the bank's dying years. Badulla branch material is scarcer than Colombo issues.
