| 背面描述 | Printed entirely in brown, the reverse is dominated by a dense, intricate guilloche pattern filling the entire field, with rosette and fan motifs at the corners and along the borders. A central horizontal band carries the denomination DIEZ CENTAVOS flanking a circular guilloche medallion bearing the numeral 10. The issuing authority TESORO NACIONAL is inscribed in a curved ribbon at the top, with REPÚBLICA DE NICARAGUA arched along the lower border, and the printer's imprint appearing in small text at the bottom margin. |

Payot, Upham & Co. operated out of San Francisco from the mid-nineteenth century and handled a range of security printing for Latin American clients who lacked access to the major Eastern US or European banknote houses. Nicaragua's Tesoro Nacional turned to them at a moment when the country's monetary system was being reshaped under President Roberto Sacasa — the 1894 series coinciding with ongoing instability that would culminate in the Zelaya coup later that same year.
The political transition almost certainly interrupted normal distribution. P#17 is among the scarcer pieces from this Payot, Upham output.
