| Reverse description | Printed entirely in black, the reverse is dominated by a central intaglio vignette of the Banco de Honduras building rendered in fine architectural detail, set within an ornate rectangular frame. Flanking the central vignette are two large symmetrical guilloche rosettes, each enclosing the numeral 10 in an interlaced cipher. The bank name is inscribed in a banner at the top and the denomination in a cartouche at the foot, with the printer's imprint reading WATERLOW & SONS LIMITED, LONDRES, INGLATERRA below. |
