| Reverse description | Central intaglio vignette illustrates an industrial mountain landscape with a factory complex at centre, smokestacks, an aerial cable-car system spanning the mountain terrain, and smaller buildings scattered across the valley. Decorative folk-pattern guilloche borders flank the left and right margins, while elaborate acanthus scrollwork frames the lower corners. The state title appears on a ribbon scroll at top, denomination text at bottom, and a counterfeiting warning legend in small type along the lower margin. |
