| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large central guilloche ellipse enclosing the numeral "10000" flanked by the word "TIZEZER" on each side, set within a series of concentric decorative bands rendered in dark intaglio. The surrounding frame is composed entirely of intricate Hungarian folk-inspired ornamental motifs — stylised floral palmettes, peacock-tail scrolls, and foliate corner pieces — forming a dense symmetrical border. The denomination legend "TIZEZER MILPENGŐ" appears twice along the upper margin in a curved arrangement, with the numeral "10000" repeated in solid blocks at each corner. |
