| Reverse description | Brown on cream paper. The entire reverse is occupied by an elaborate symmetrical guilloche pattern composed of interlocking floral and geometric rosettes arranged in a horizontal band across the centre of the note. The intricate engine-turned design radiates from a large central medallion flanked by progressively smaller lobed rosette clusters, all rendered in fine lathe-work typical of De La Rue intaglio production. Denomination indicators appear in each corner. |
