| Obverse description | Vertically oriented note printed in black ink on cream paper, with a decorative border of interlocking dragon and wave motifs in the Chinese woodblock tradition. The central field carries the large denomination character 拾 (ten) within a red official seal impression, above the unit 兩 (taels), with the full denomination inscription 準二兩平足色銀 rendered in formal script. The upper portion bears the issuing authority title 戶部宮票 (Hubu Guanpiao) alongside the printed serial number, with date columns and administrative text arranged in vertical columns flanking the central denomination. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries extensive manuscript annotations, official red seal impressions, and brush-written endorsements in Chinese script distributed across the entire surface, consistent with the circulation and administrative processing practices of Qing dynasty government paper currency. Multiple large red ink seal stampings of varying sizes appear at several positions, accompanied by columns of handwritten clerical script recording transaction or verification details. The paper surface shows the typical aged, warm-toned patina associated with used Hubu Guanpiao notes of the Xianfeng period. |
