| Obverse description | Printed in black and blue-green, the obverse carries a central vignette of a sailing vessel entering Havana harbor with the Morro Castle in the background, flanked by two seated allegorical female figures, one holding a cornucopia and the other a staff. Surrounding vignettes illustrate the agricultural wealth of Cuba: a tobacco plant, royal palm trees, a sugar mill with smokestacks, and oxen hauling a cart laden with sugar cane. Denomination numerals appear at the corners, with the issuing bank title and payment obligation text occupying the central inscription panel. |

| Obverse lettering | 10 EL BANCO ESPAÑOL DE LA HABANA á la presentación de este billete pagará al portador DIEZ pesos fuertes en efectivo. Habana, 20 de Dbre. de 1869. (Translation: The Spanish Bank of Havana Upon presentation of this note, the bearer will be paid Ten Pesos Fuertes in cash. Havana, December 20, 1869.) |
| Reverse description | The reverse is essentially unprinted, presenting a plain paper surface. A large red-ink cancellation cross is drawn diagonally across the entire face, and a circular violet official control stamp bearing the numeral "10" and a legible legend referencing cancellation of the billete is applied at centre. Two handwritten "Es inutil" ("It is worthless") cancellation inscriptions appear in the upper and lower fields, and three punch-hole cancellations are visible along the bottom edge, consistent with standard administrative demonetization procedures. |
