| Obverse description | Central vignette in intaglio presents a factory worker and a peasant woman carrying a sheaf of grain, rendered against a cloud-filled sky; two ornate guilloche rosettes bearing the Chinese characters for the denomination flank the vignette on either side. The bank title in Chinese runs along the top border, the date 一九五三年 appears at the lower centre, and the numeral 10 is repeated in the lower corners, with two red seal impressions visible within the central design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large ornate guilloche frame enclosing the national emblem of the People's Republic of China — Tiananmen Gate surmounted by five stars — at the top centre, with the bank name and denomination in Chinese script below it. The inscription is repeated in three additional scripts arranged around the central field: Uyghur (Arabic script) to the left, Tibetan to the right, and Mongolian at the bottom, reflecting China's multilingual national policy. Numeral 10 appears in decorative cartouches at both sides, and the year 1953 is printed at the foot of the central panel. |
