| Reverse description | Entirely engraved in green, the reverse is composed of six large intricately worked lathe-work guilloche rosettes arranged symmetrically around the central horizontal band, which bears the bold serif inscription PENINSULAR BANK. Additional smaller circular ornaments occupy the corners and outer edges, creating a dense, counterfeit-deterrent geometric pattern. The printer's imprint appears in small text at the lower right margin. |
