Reverse description	The reverse displays the denomination numeral '10' prominently in the center of the field, flanked above and below by a pointed lozenge or eye-shaped ornament serving as a decorative separator. The word 'GRIQUA' arcs along the upper portion of the field in large capital letters, while 'TOWN' appears inverted along the lower portion, reflecting the coin's characteristic inverted bi-directional legend. The inscriptions are executed in bold, deeply cut Roman capitals. The entire design is enclosed by a reeded inner border consistent with the obverse.
