| Reverse description | Blue on tan underprint. The entire reverse is occupied by an intricate engine-turned guilloche design composed of concentric rosettes and interlocking geometric lathe-work patterns, with the denomination rendered in all three Swiss national languages: DIX FRANCS in French at top, ZEHN FRANKEN in German across the central band, and DIECI FRANCHI in Italian at bottom. Large numeral 10 counters appear at left and right within ornate cartouches, and a repeating micro-text border inscribes the denomination in all three languages around the entire perimeter. |
