| Reverse description | The reverse features a central quartered design incorporating the four playing card suits — hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades — rendered in an argyle diamond pattern across each quadrant. A sculptural rose in high relief occupies the center of the composition. The border is decorated with an ornate scrollwork and vine motif interspersed with Alice in Wonderland-themed vignettes including teacups and roses. The legend 70th Anniversary arcs along the upper portion of the field in Gothic-style lettering, and the denomination $10 appears within a heart-shaped cartouche at the base. |
