Reverse description The reverse is essentially plain, with the note's text bleeding through the thin handmade paper as a ghost impression from the obverse. A partially visible circular ink stamp or seal is discernible at the lower left corner, consistent with authentication or cancellation practice of the period, and vertical fold lines from circulation are clearly present across the surface.
