| Obverse description | The State Emblem of Sri Lanka occupies the central field, depicting a golden lion passant holding a sword, set within a roundel and flanked by petals of the blue lotus, the national flower. Beneath the lion rests a traditional oil lamp (Nandadeepa) supported by a decorative plinth, flanked by the leaves of the bo tree (Ficus religiosa) and a sun and moon symbol on either side. A Dhamma Chakra (Wheel of the Doctrine) surmounts the emblem. The entire design is rendered in high relief and is centrally positioned on a flat, unadorned field within the hendecagonal flan. |

| Reverse description | The large numeral '10' dominates the central field in bold relief, serving as the primary denomination indicator. Surrounding the numeral, the country name appears in three scripts arranged along the upper arc: Sinhala (ශ්රී ලංකා), Tamil (இலங்கை), and Latin (SRI LANKA). Below the numeral, the denomination is inscribed in three languages: Sinhala (රුපියල් දහයයි), Tamil (பத்து ரூபாய்), and English (TEN RUPEES). The date of issue appears in the lower exergue in Arabic numerals. A continuous decorative border of stylized repeating elements runs along the inner edge of the hendecagonal flan. |
