| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold bow-on view of a large British man-of-war — the Royal George — rendered in detailed relief, showing the vessel's towering hull, gun ports, bowsprit, and rigging rising prominently in the centre of the field. Below a horizontal ground line, the legend KENT HALFPENNY is inscribed in two lines, followed by the date 1795 and the monogram T D H identifying the issuer Thomas Haycraft of Deptford. The patriotic peripheral legend PROSPERITY TO THE WOODEN WALLS OF OLD ENGLAND * ROYAL GEORGE encircles the design, separated from the field by a plain inner border with a dentilated outer rim. |
