| Reverse description | Uniface green reverse centred on a large oval guilloche medallion enclosed within a continuous rosette lace border, through which the numeral "10" frames the denomination legend "TEN SHILLINGS" in bold capital letters. Symmetrical scrollwork flourishes extend laterally from the medallion, and the entire field is filled with intricate engine-turned lathe work characteristic of early twentieth-century British currency printing. |
