| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by an intaglio portrait of Nelson Mandela at right centre, rendered against a green guilloche underprint incorporating stylised wildlife vignettes — including springbok — along the lower and right margins. At upper left, the South African coat of arms is printed alongside the Governor's facsimile signature and title. Large numeral '10' appears at lower left in colour-shifting ink, with the denomination 'TEN RAND' printed vertically at the far right. A vertical security strip with 'RAND' and 'SARB' inscriptions bisects the note. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-length vignette of a young Nelson Mandela in traditional Xhosa attire at centre, set against a panoramic underprint of the rural village of Mvezo — his birthplace — with traditional rondavel dwellings and grazing sheep rendered in green tones. The place name 'Mvezo' and the honorific 'Madiba' appear as inscriptions flanking the central image, with the commemorative legend and denomination repeated in multiple official South African languages around the borders. |
