| Reverse description | The reverse, printed in a single dark tone, is dominated by an elaborate guilloche border of interlocking lathe-work patterns filling the entire surface. At the centre bottom sits an ornate oval medallion enclosing an eagle or imperial cipher motif, while a large compass-rose or star ornament occupies the upper centre. The overall design is purely typographic and geometric, with no figurative vignettes, intended as a security underprint that renders the note difficult to counterfeit. |
