| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in red-brown, centered on an oval vignette of a large neoclassical building — likely the Banco Mercantil headquarters — with a clock tower, palm trees, and figures in the foreground plaza. The vignette is framed by elaborate guilloche lacework borders that extend across the full face of the note, with the numeral '10' in ornate cartouches at the left and right margins. The bank name 'BANCO' appears at the top center and 'MERCANTIL' at the bottom center, separated by the central architectural scene. |
