| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in warm tones of orange, yellow, and olive, entirely composed of elaborate guilloche lacework arranged in symmetrical arabesque patterns surrounding a central rectangular cartouche. The inscription 'GOVERNMENT OF FIJI' appears within the cartouche in brown letterpress, and a plain circular watermark space is reserved at the right. The overall design is uncluttered, relying entirely on the complexity of the engine-turned geometric underprint for visual effect. |
