| Reverse description | Brown reverse composed entirely of fine guilloche latticework arranged in a geometric pattern of interlocking rectangular panels surrounding a central blank circular medallion. The overall layout is symmetrical, with dense microtext-style repeated legends filling the guilloche fields, and the bank name appearing at centre. No pictorial vignette is present; the design relies entirely on the intricacy of the mechanical guilloche engraving for its anti-counterfeiting effect. |
