| Reverse description | Central device depicting a seated bear, emblem of the British Copper Company, resting upon a rectangular plinth or ledge, with a cogged or toothed wheel to the right symbolising industrial production. The entire central composition is encircled by a finely detailed wreath of oak leaves and acorns, tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The field is deeply struck, reflecting the precision of Soho Mint workmanship, with the initials BCC absent from the visible design area but referenced as the issuer's monogram. |
