| Obverse description | Central vignette of an ox cart laden with sugarcane, flanked by two large guilloche rosettes bearing the numeral "10" in the upper corners. The bank title "EL BANCO ESPAÑOL DE LA ISLA DE CUBA" is inscribed in bold letterpress across the lower portion, beneath which a green underprint carries the written denomination "DIEZ" with the date "HABANA, 15 de Mayo de 1896". Three signature lines for El Gobernador, El Consejero, and El Cajero appear at the bottom, with the printer's imprint of the American Bank Note Co., New York along the lower border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse repeats the central ox-cart vignette within the same intaglio-printed composition as the obverse, framed by guilloche rosettes bearing the numeral "10" in each upper corner and a continuous border of repeated numerals "10" along all edges. The bank title and denomination underprint are rendered in dark ink against the green guilloche background, giving the note a near-identical appearance to the face, a design choice typical of American Bank Note Company issues of the period. |
