| Reverse description | Printed entirely in dark green on a cream ground, the reverse is composed of intricate guilloche lacework centred on a large rosette medallion carrying the numeral 10 and the characters 拾圓, surrounded by symmetrical floral guilloche panels. Corner cartouches repeat the numeral 10 in Arabic digits, and two vertical columns of Chinese script reproduce the printed signatures of the Bureau Director and Deputy Director. A continuous geometric-pattern border frames the entire design. |
