| Reverse description | Two conjoined shields occupy the central field: the dexter shield bearing the Cross of St. George for England, and the sinister shield displaying the Irish harp on a plain field. The denomination mark 'II' (indicating two pence) appears prominently above the shields. The design is stark and heraldic in character, devoid of royal portraiture in keeping with Commonwealth republican principles. A beaded inner circle frames the composition. |
