| Obverse description | A finely engraved vignette of a mangosteen branch with fruit and foliage is positioned to the left, set against a guilloche underprint in olive-green tones. The bilingual denomination TIEN GULDEN in Dutch and SEPOELOEH ROEPIAH in Malay is centred beneath the issuing authority's title DE JAVASCHE BANK at the top, with the promise-to-pay legends in both languages arranged below. Two manuscript signatures of the Secretaris and President appear beneath the central text, while the numeral 10 repeats in large format within an ornate geometric panel at the upper and lower right. |

| Reverse description | A large stylised pyramidal guilloche pattern in green and pink dominates the centre of the reverse, surmounted at its apex by the interlaced DJB monogram of De Javasche Bank. Anti-counterfeiting legal warning texts in Dutch and Malay are printed at the upper left and upper right respectively, while a panel of Chinese script occupies the lower right and a panel of Javanese script runs along the lower left, reflecting the multilingual currency conventions of the Netherlands East Indies. The serial number and prefix letters are printed twice across the central field. |
