| Obverse description | The national emblem of Tajikistan appears as a circular vignette at left, set against a fine guilloche underprint in red and pink tones covering the entire field. A central ornamental medallion in a lobed floral frame bears the Tajik denomination text, flanked by numeral value panels — a green guilloche cartouche with "10" at lower left and a shield-shaped panel at upper right. The date "1994" is incorporated within a decorative banner at the bottom centre. |

| Comments |
Tajikistan continued using Russian ruble notes after independence in 1991, but by late 1994 Russia's decision to demonetize the pre-1993 Soviet ruble series forced the new republic's hand. Unable to immediately join the ruble zone on acceptable terms, Tajikistan issued its own transitional somoni-predecessor currency — the Tajik ruble — pegged notionally to the Russian ruble but backed by nothing resembling meaningful reserves.
The 1994 series was printed by the Goznak facility in Moscow, an arrangement that created an obvious political awkwardness for a newly independent state issuing currency through its former sovereign's state printer.
