| Reverse description | The denomination '10 KR' appears prominently in large characters across the upper field. Below, four Capelin fish (Mallotus villosus) are depicted swimming diagonally across the field in a naturalistic, staggered arrangement, rendered with fine detail showing fins and body markings. The composition emphasizes Iceland's historically vital fishing industry and maritime heritage. The field is otherwise unadorned, lending visual clarity to the design. |
