Obverse description Black intaglio on green underprint. At left, an oval vignette contains an allegorical portrait of Liberty in profile, wearing a star-adorned diadem with rays emanating behind her head. To the right, a large guilloche numeral '10' panel is set within an ornate frame, flanked by the bilingual bank title at top; the central text block carries the statutory legal tender declaration in Spanish, with two manuscript signature lines above the bold denomination cartouche reading 'DIEZ CENTAVOS DE CÓRDOBA', and a third signature at lower right above 'PRESIDENTE'. Repeated numeral '10' cornerpieces and the printer's imprint 'American Bank Note Co. New York' run along the lower border.

Reverse description Green intaglio on white paper. The central vignette presents the Nicaraguan coat of arms — an equilateral triangle enclosing five volcanic peaks rising from the sea beneath a rainbow and a Liberty cap — rendered in fine line engraving. Flanking the central arms are two large mirror-image guilloche rosettes each bearing the numeral '10', set within an elaborate engine-turned border. The bank title appears bilingually at the top, with denomination text in a rectangular panel at the foot and the printer's imprint below.
