| Reverse description | The entire reverse is occupied by a large central guilloche vignette of lathe-work design, rendered in steel-blue on a plain white ground.

The oval is framed by acanthus scrolls, floral rosettes, and feathered foliage extending to the corners, executed in the intricate intaglio style typical of De La Rue security printing.
