| Reverse description | The centre of the reverse is dominated by a large guilloche rosette bearing the numeral '10', surrounded by intricate lathe-work underprint in deep red. Five heraldic shields — the arms of Brunei, Sarawak, the Federation of Malaya, Singapore, and North Borneo — are arranged across the upper and lower portions of the design. A circular watermark space occupies the right field, and a Jawi script panel appears at the lower centre within a decorative border. |
