Descrizione del rovescio	The reverse is entirely covered by an intricate multicolour guilloche pattern in pink and blue-green tones, comprising interlocking floral and geometric engine-turned lathe-work radiating from a central cartouche bearing the issuer's name in bold serif lettering. No figurative imagery is present, the composition relying entirely on the anti-counterfeiting density of the guilloche underprint.
