| Reverse description | The numeral '10' occupies the central field, flanked above and below by a horizontal lozenge-shaped ornament serving as a dividing rule. The legend 'GRIQUA' arcs around the upper periphery and 'TOWN' appears inverted along the lower periphery, the latter being set upside-down relative to the obverse orientation. The overall layout is bold and utilitarian, consistent with the emergency token coinage struck for the Griqua community at Griquatown. |
