| Obverse description | Red guilloche border with ornate corner vignettes frames a central oval cartouche containing the payment text in pre-reform Cyrillic script. The small Imperial coat of arms of the Russian Empire is set within a circular medallion at the top centre, above the oval. The year '1840' appears in bold numerals at both upper corners, and the denomination numeral '10' is printed at the bottom centre beneath the oval, with the bank's title ГОСУДАРСТВЕННЫЙ КОММЕРЧЕСКІЙ БАНКЪ inscribed in letterpress at the head of the central cartouche. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in red and black on plain paper, dominated by a large oval guilloche underprint in red. Within and around the oval, five numbered articles of regulations regarding deposit notes are set in dense pre-reform Cyrillic letterpress text under the heading ИЗВЛЕЧЕНІЕ ИЗЪ ПРАВИЛЪ О ДЕПОЗИТНЫХЪ ВКЛАДАХЪ. The text appears in two layers — a larger print repeated in a reduced version below each article — covering nearly the entire surface of the note. |
