| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in purple on a pale blue guilloche underprint and centres on a large ornamental panel enclosing the numeral 10 above the word LIRE in bold intaglio-style lettering, surrounded by intricate scrollwork and foliate arabesques. The overall composition is symmetrical, with decorative cornerpieces and a fine lathe-work background filling the field. No additional inscriptions appear on this side. |
