| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark blue-black on a light underprint, with a central vignette at right of a seated allegorical figure of Mercury, god of commerce, amid rocky terrain with industrial machinery. The denomination numeral '10' appears at left within an ornate guilloche frame, with the bank title 'EL BANCO DE LA NACION BOLIVIANA' across the top and 'DIEZ BOLIVIANOS' in a panel below the central design. A bold black overprint reading 'BANCO CENTRAL DE BOLIVIA' is applied horizontally across the face, with three manuscript signatures of bank officials along the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in brown, with a large central vignette of the Bolivian Coat of Arms — an oval cartouche with the condor, mountain, and llama — enclosed within an elaborate engine-turned guilloche border. The denomination numeral '10' appears in large format at both left and right within ornate scrollwork panels, and the bank name is inscribed in a banner below the central arms. The overall design is executed in fine intaglio with intricate lathe-work surrounds typical of American Bank Note Company production. |
