Reverse description The reverse is printed in grey-brown and composed entirely of intricate engine-turned guilloche lacework, with a large central oval medallion enclosing the bold numeral '20' above the inscription 'HÚSZ FILLÉR.' set within a fine lathe-work surround. Radiating guilloche rosettes and geometric lacework fill the entire field, with the numeral '20' repeated in each corner. No pictorial vignette is present; the design relies exclusively on ornamental geometric engraving.
