| Obverse lettering | BLUE-FOOTED BOOBY 10 SUCRES GALÁPAGOS Sula nebouxii excisa |
| Reverse description | Central vignette of Darwin's Arch, the celebrated natural rock formation situated southeast of Darwin Island in the Galápagos archipelago, rendered in an engraved illustrative style. A portrait of the naturalist Charles Darwin (1809–1882) appears alongside the arch motif, with the denomination '10 SUCRES' and a disclaimer legend occupying the lower portion of the note. The colour palette and compositional arrangement are consistent with a purpose-issued collector piece rather than a circulating currency. |

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.
