| Obverse description | Intaglio-printed vignette of King George VI in left profile, set within an ornate oval frame surmounted by a crown and flanked by foliate scrollwork, positioned at left. The central legend reads THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS above the legal tender clause, with the denomination TEN SHILLINGS rendered in a decorative panel at centre-right alongside the numeral 10s in an octagonal cartouche. A guilloche underprint covers the field, and the date 19th May 1938 appears at lower right above the inscription FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS, with the Commissioner of Currency signature below centre. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a warm ochre-brown tone and consists entirely of an elaborate engine-turned guilloche design, with a large central oval medallion composed of interlocking lathe-work rosettes and foliate arabesques. Acanthus scrollwork and stylised floral motifs radiate outward to the corners, filling the entire field in a symmetrical, ornamental pattern with no text or pictorial vignette. |
