| Reverse description | Printed entirely in green, the reverse is dominated by an elaborate guilloche composition centred on a large oval medallion bearing the bold letterpress denomination 'TEN' in white relief against a fine lathe-work ground. The oval is framed by an ornate border of interlocking foliate and engine-turned scrollwork panels radiating to all four corners, with repeating 'TEN' inscriptions within the inner border band. At the base of the central oval, the imprint 'BRADBURY, WILKINSON & Co. LONDON' is incorporated into the guilloche border. A perforated 'SPECIMEN / B.W.&CO / LONDON' cancellation appears at lower left. |
