| Reverse description | Printed entirely in dark blue intaglio on a plain white ground, the reverse is dominated by a large central oval vignette of an alpine mountain torrent scene with rocky foreground and snow-capped peaks, enclosed within fine guilloche framework. The trilingual bank name curves around the oval border, and bold denomination numerals occupy each corner within intricate rosette guilloche panels. A Swiss cross emblem appears at top centre within the decorative border. |
