Reverse description The reverse displays a large, elaborately rendered cursive monogram comprising the interlaced initials W, T, B, and Co., occupying the majority of the central field in an ornate script style. The date 1804 is inscribed below the monogram in bold Roman numerals, with a series of small stars arranged along the lower periphery. The surrounding legend, disposed in the upper arc, reads LICENCED BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT, conferring the token's legal authority. The overall design is stark and typographic, contrasting with the figurative obverse.
