Obverse description The obverse is printed in red and black over a light ground with a red guilloche underprint bearing repeated text reading "FØROYAR" and "TÍGGJU" throughout. At left, an intaglio vignette in fine black engraving presents the Faroese National Coat of Arms — a ram on a shield — while the central letterpress legends read "FØROYAR" above and "TÍGGJUKRÓNUR" below, with the denomination numeral "10" set in ornate cartouches at each corner. Two manuscript signatures with their role designations and a green serial number appear in the lower centre.

Reverse description The reverse is printed entirely in red, centred on a large landscape vignette of a traditional Faroese rural homestead — several timber-clad farm buildings set against a sweeping hillside and mountain backdrop rendered in graduated red tones, with rocky outcrops and moorland in the foreground. The denomination numeral "10" is repeated in bold cartouches at each corner, and a repeating guilloche border of scalloped waves frames the note at top and bottom.
