| Reverse description | Executed entirely in violet-grey intaglio and engine-turned guilloche work, the reverse presents a large central oval cartouche with the bold numeral 40 set within densely interlaced lathe-work patterns and a circular trilingual bank-name legend. A Swiss cross within an oval guilloche frame occupies the top centre, while the four corners each carry the denomination numeral 40 within elaborate rosette and fan-pattern guilloche panels. No pictorial vignette is present; the entire field is filled with intricate underprint geometry. |
