| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a finely engraved view of the Central Bank of China's Shanghai headquarters, an imposing neo-classical building rendered in intaglio in olive-grey. Above the building vignette, the bank name THE CENTRAL BANK OF CHINA appears within a decorative cartouche, while the legend PROMISES TO PAY THE BEARER ON DEMAND AT ITS OFFICE HERE runs on a scroll-work panel beneath it. The large numeral 10 in ornate script dominates the lower central field within a guilloche rosette, flanked by the denomination TEN CUSTOMS GOLD UNITS in a horizontal panel, with serial numbers in red at top and bottom, two signature lines at the lower margin, and the imprint SHANGHAI, 1930 / AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY along the foot. |
