| Obverse description | Lady Hazel Lavery is portrayed in an intaglio-engraved oval vignette at left, seated with a traditional Irish harp and a landscape of mountains and water in the background. The bilingual bank title in English and Irish Gaelic is set across the upper portion, flanked by Celtic interlace border ornaments, with two facsimile signatures — the Governor and the Secretary of the Department of Finance — appearing to the right of the vignette. A guilloche medallion bearing the denomination £10 is positioned at lower centre-right, with the date printed in red below it. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette presents an intaglio-engraved bearded male river god — the spirit of the River Bann — rendered in fine recess-printed detail within a rectangular frame surrounded by elaborate guilloche scrollwork. A large plain circle to the left serves as a watermark zone, while a circular guilloche panel to the right carries the denomination £10. The entire design is enclosed within a heavily worked Celtic knotwork and scalloped lace border in dark blue-green on a pale yellow-green underprint. |
