| Reverse description | Central field depicts a full-rigged three-masted sailing ship under sail, shown in profile sailing to the right on a stippled sea, reflecting the maritime character of Portsea as a naval town. The ship is rendered in fine detail with sails billowing and rigging delineated. The design is framed at the base by a wreath of laurel or olive branches tied at the bottom. The circumferential legend HALFPENNY arcs across the upper portion of the field. The border is formed by a continuous milled dentilation. |
