| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black and grey on an uncoloured ground, centred on an intaglio vignette of a high-voltage electricity pylon with transmission lines stretching into the middle distance. The issuer's title BANQUE DE LA REPUBLIQUE DE KATANGA appears in a ruled panel across the top, with the date 01·08·60 at upper left; denomination numerals 10 are repeated at left and lower-right corners. Two manuscript-style signature lines labelled UN DIRECTEUR and LE GOUVERNEUR occupy the lower centre, and a guilloche band at the foot carries the anti-counterfeiting legend and the printer's imprint. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black on plain white paper and relies entirely on geometric lathe-work for its ornamental effect: a large central guilloche medallion of interlaced diamond and lozenge forms is flanked symmetrically by two feather-like radiating fan motifs. Denomination numerals 10 appear at the left and right margins, while the issuer's title is set in roman capitals across the top and DIX FRANCS in large letters across the lower centre. The printer's imprint is typeset in small capitals beneath the denomination. |
