| Reverse description | Printed entirely in brown, the reverse presents a dense, symmetrical guilloche composition centred on a large numeral '10' within an elaborate foliate and floral medallion. Flanking the central motif are two large ornamental volutes, while Greek key bands frame the upper and lower registers. Corner squares carry rosette vignettes, and a fine sawtooth frieze runs along the top edge, giving the design a richly engraved appearance. |
