| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a detailed intaglio vignette of the Chartered Bank's Hong Kong headquarters building, which opened in 1959, set within a finely engraved architectural frame. A large red numeral '10' appears to the right of the building vignette, balanced by guilloche patterning across the field. The denomination and issuer name are rendered in both English and Chinese script. |
