| Reverse description | Central vignette to the right presents a detailed intaglio view of a traditional Chinese palatial hall — identified as the Hall of Supreme Harmony within the Forbidden City — set amid stone terraces and flanking trees, printed in teal-green. A large scalloped guilloche panel occupies the left, reserved for the watermark. Two serial numbers flank the facsimile signatures of the Asst. General Manager and General Manager below the vignette, with the year date 1936 in a decorative cartouche at foot. |
