| Obverse description | At left, a circular intaglio vignette reproduces the celebrated ancient dekadrachm of Syracuse bearing the head of Arethusa in left-facing profile, her hair elaborately coiffed and ornamented, set within an intricate guilloche border. To the right, the large numeral "10" is centred within an ornamental cartouche against a fine geometric underprint in ochre and blue, with the denomination in Greek text below. The bank title appears in the upper margin, and the date and payment clause are printed in letterpress along the lower portion, flanked by two manuscript signatures. |
