| Reverse description | The reverse mirrors the obverse design layout, with the same allegorical vignette of the seated female figure with cornucopia and bull at left, printed in a green intaglio scheme. The central guilloche cartouche repeats the denomination inscription, and the serial number is again printed in the upper register. A stamp or cancellation mark in violet ink is visible at centre-right on the illustrated example, indicating a cancelled or specimen use note. |
