| Obverse description | A standing draped female figure, likely Britannia or an allegorical representation of England, occupies the central field, depicted in three-quarter view facing left. Her right arm is raised with an open hand, while her left hand rests upon a large oval shield; an anchor and a fasces are visible at her feet, symbolising maritime strength and civic unity. The figure stands on a rocky ground line rendered in low relief. The circumferential legend reads PROSPERITY TO OLD ENGLAND, separated by a stop at the lower right, with fine denticles bordering the rim throughout. |
