The 10 Mark note depicts Vorkosigan Surleau. This picture of the lake
and old fortifications at the Vorkosigan estate was commissioned by Emperor
Gregor Vorbarra to commemorate Prime Minister Aral Vorkosigan’s sixtieth
birthday in recognition of the many contributions of the Vorkosigan family
to the Imperium.
It is also imprinted with the Barrayaran Planetary crest and the English language statement in Barrayaran cyrillic, "Emperor Gregor Vorbarra, long may he reign." |
Three are three different versions of this denomination. Each bears
a different figure from Barrayaran folklore. The figure on this 10 Mark
is Ivanovitch the Vorturtle.
It also lists the planets of the Barrayaran Empire next to their planetary crests. |
