| Obverse description | Green and pale ochre intaglio-printed note with an elaborate guilloche border framing the entire design. A central vignette presents an engraved tropical landscape with a tall palm tree and low scrubland, flanked by the bold arched legend THE WEST AFRICAN CURRENCY BOARD and the promise-to-pay text in scroll banners. The denomination numeral 10 appears in large intaglio figures at the left, with the place of issue LAGOS and a hand-written date below, while four manuscript signatures of the Board members are inscribed to the right alongside the caption MEMBERS OF THE WEST AFRICAN CURRENCY BOARD. |
