| Reverse description | Orange, red and multicolour intaglio and letterpress print. A detailed anatomical figure of the human musculature — referencing the style of classical anatomy plates — occupies the central field, overlaid by large denomination numerals in guilloche. An intricate geometric guilloche rosette with multicolour starburst pattern appears to the right, set against a fine cross-hatched orange underprint, with the bank title in French and Italian across the top and bottom margins respectively. |
