| Reverse description | The central design features a stylised capital letter A, formed from decorative scrollwork, superimposed over a rugby league football rendered in low relief. The composition is divided diagonally, with the left portion in a matte finish and the right in a mirror field, creating a striking contrast. Along the left periphery runs the legend CENTENARY OF RUGBY LEAGUE, with the dates 1908 - 2008 arcing across the upper right. Four small oval rugby ball motifs are arranged vertically at the right margin. The denomination TEN DOLLARS appears in the lower exergue. |
