| Obverse description | Draped bust of Admiral Earl Howe facing left, with a queue (pigtail) pointing between the letters U and J of the surrounding legend; the ampersand (&) is positioned notably further from the letters E and T. The portrait is rendered in a classical neoclassical style typical of late 18th-century English token coinage. The circumferential legend reads EARL HOWE & THE GLORIOUS FIRST OF JUNE, commemorating the naval victory of 1 June 1794. |
