| Reverse description | The central field features a bold three-quarter front view of the Southern Pacific GS-4 'Daylight' steam locomotive, its massive drive wheels, boiler, and smoke deflectors rendered in fine detail, with billowing steam rising from the smokestack. Coniferous trees flank the locomotive to the right, while a mountain range rises behind it to the left. A secondary vignette in the upper field depicts the GS-4 in profile view travelling at speed along a straight track. The curved legend STEAM LOCOMOTIVE GS-4 arcs across the upper portion of the field, and the denomination 10 Dollars appears in the exergue. A beaded border encircles the entire reverse design. |
