Descrizione del rovescio	The reverse shows a mirror-image impression of the obverse design printed in green and red tones, a result of ink strike-through characteristic of early Canadian banknote printing on thin cotton paper, with the central seahorse vignette and flanking guilloche rosettes visible in diffused form. The overall impression is dominated by the green intaglio ink, with red underprint rosettes partially visible at either side.
