| Reverse description | The central field features a deeply sculpted composition commemorating the Snowy Mountains Scheme, depicting a construction worker operating heavy machinery in the foreground, with the sweeping curved face of a large dam wall rising behind him and snow-capped alpine peaks visible in the background. The design employs a combination of frosted relief and mirror-polished surfaces to create a dramatic contrast. The legend THE SNOWY MOUNTAINS SCHEME arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 10 DOLLARS appears at the base, both in bold sans-serif lettering. The engraver's initials VG appear within the design field. |
