| Reverse description | Central device depicting a three-masted Royal Navy ship of the line under full sail, navigating on stylised waves rendered in bold relief, evoking the strength of the British fleet. The rigging, gun ports, and hull details are rendered with considerable engraving precision typical of the Conder token series. The surrounding legend THE WOODEN WALLS OF OLD ENGLAND encircles the design, a patriotic phrase alluding to Britain's naval supremacy. A beaded border frames the entire composition. The edge of this type carries an incuse legend indicating the issuing merchant or payable location. |
