Obverse description A vignette of the Central Bank of Nigeria headquarters building occupies the left-centre of the note, rendered in fine intaglio engraving set against a lightly tinted guilloche underprint in blue and green tones. To the right, an ornate scalloped medallion provides space for a watermark, flanked by Arabic script inscriptions below. The denomination '10/-' appears in each corner, with the issuer's name and promise-to-pay legend across the upper portion, below the country title 'FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA'.

The denomination '10/-' is repeated in each corner with 'TEN SHILLINGS' lettered in bold across the lower centre.
