| Reverse description | Seated figure of Britannia facing left in the central field, wearing a helmet and flowing robes, her right hand extended holding an olive branch and her left hand resting on a shield emblazoned with the Union Jack, with a trident leaning against her side. The composition is set within a finely executed, highly polished field with mirror-like proof surfaces. The legend BRITANNIA appears above in a bold arc, with the date 1788 flanked by raised dots below. The design reflects the refined neoclassical engraving style of Droz, with crisp, deeply struck details throughout. |
