| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by an elaborate engine-turned guilloche pattern in brown-black intaglio, with a central oval medallion bearing the three-legged Isle of Man triskelion symbol within a circular legend. The issuer's name 'DUMBELL'S BANKING COMPANY LIMITED' is arranged in two arched banners across the upper and lower portions of the design.
