| Reverse description | Quartered royal shield of arms, surmounted by an ornate imperial crown, set within an elaborate baroque cartouche with scrollwork and foliate decoration. The four quarters display, clockwise from upper left: the three passant guardant lions of England quartered with the lion rampant of Scotland (first and fourth quarters), the fleurs-de-lis of France (second quarter), the harp of Ireland (third quarter), and the white horse of Hanover in escutcheon. The date is divided across the top of the field, flanking the crown. The peripheral legend reads ·M·B·F·ET·H·REX·F·D·B·ET·L·D·S·R·I·A·T·ET·E· (King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Duke of Brunswick and Lüneburg, Arch-Treasurer and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire). |
