| Reverse description | The quartered royal arms of Great Britain displayed on an ornate baroque shield, surmounted by a royal crown. The first and fourth quarters bear the three passant guardant lions of England; the second quarter displays the rampant lion of Scotland; the third quarter shows three fleurs-de-lis representing the claim to France; and the lower quarters feature the Irish harp and the Hanoverian horse respectively. The shield is framed by elaborate scrollwork cartouche.
