Reverse description A full-colour polychrome depiction of the Atlas moth (Attacus atlas) displayed with wings spread, rendered in vivid shades of red and orange with distinctive translucent blue-grey fenestrate patches on both the fore- and hindwings, and characteristic hooked forewing tips resembling serpent heads. A small mintmaster's mark appears in the upper field above the moth. The Latin species name "Attacus Atlas" is inscribed in an arc at the top of the field, and the denomination "10 VATU" appears in the lower field, all within a beaded border.
