| Obverse description | Intaglio portrait of José Figueres Ferrer at centre-left against a green and multicolour guilloche underprint, with a blue vignette in the background alluding to the 1948 abolition of the Costa Rican army — soldiers laying down arms beneath a map of Costa Rica rendered in purple at upper right. The large denominational numeral '10 MIL COLONES' appears at lower right in a colour-shifting optically variable ink panel, with two facsimile signatures (Presidente and Gerente) printed below centre. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is devoted to the theme of the Costa Rican rainforest (Bosque Lluvioso), with a central vignette combining a three-toed sloth, tropical birds, an orchid flower, and a mushroom cap set within a lush green forest canopy rendered in multicolour intaglio and offset printing. Guilloche patterning and microtext fill the background, with the denomination repeated in the underprint. |
