| Reverse description | Printed entirely in blue, the reverse is dominated by an elaborate lathe-work guilloche design composed of three large interlocking rosette medallions, filled with fine engine-turned geometric patterns. The word BRITISH appears in a cartouche within the left medallion and HONDURAS in the right, set against a dense, symmetrical floral and scroll surround covering the full face of the note. |
