| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large central dragon vignette set within an elaborate wave-pattern underprint and geometric border typical of the Bellery-Desfontaines style, with bands of Chinese-character inscriptions arranged in horizontal registers across the upper portion of the note. A small legal-warning text block in French appears at lower centre, and the engraver credit "E. Gaspe sc." is noted in the lower right margin. |
