The bank title 'BANCO CENTRAL DE RESERVA DEL PERU' appears in a cartouche at the top, with the denomination 'DIEZ SOLES DE ORO' in a bold panel across the lower center, flanked by the numeral '10' at each corner. Date and place of issue appear at lower right, with three manuscript facsimile signatures of bank officials along the bottom margin. |

The denomination numeral '10' appears in large format at each of the four corners, surrounded by intricate rosette guilloche patterns, and the inscriptions 'BANCO CENTRAL DE RESERVA DEL PERU' and 'DIEZ SOLES DE ORO' are placed at the top and bottom respectively. The printer's imprint 'THOMAS DE LA RUE & CO. LTD.' appears in small text at the bottom margin. |
