| Obverse description | Central vignette of two blue-footed boobies set against a stylized guilloche underprint, with a decorative representation of a Galápagos giant tortoise and a cartographic outline of the Galápagos Islands archipelago. The denomination '10 SUCRES' appears in bold letterpress, flanked by the issuing territory name 'GALÁPAGOS' and the scientific binomial 'Sula nebouxii excisa' in smaller serif type. The overall design employs a naturalistic illustrative style consistent with commemorative collector issues. |

The Galápagos Islands have no independent currency and no monetary authority — they are an Ecuadorian province and use the US dollar in circulation. A "2025 paper banknote" issued by the Galápagos Islands does not correspond to any real issuing institution or monetary event. This item is a novelty or fantasy piece, produced for the souvenir or collector market, and should be cataloged accordingly rather than as a circulating or official note.
