To the right, a profile portrait of King Jigme Singye Wangchuk faces left, rendered in intaglio, with the denomination numeral '10' at upper left and lower left. A facsimile signature with the title 'Chairman' appears beneath the portrait, with inscriptions in Dzongkha script running along the lower margin. |
