| Obverse description | Draped bust of Admiral Richard Earl Howe facing left, wearing a tricorn hat, occupying the central field. A circular legend surrounds the effigy, reading 'EARL HOWE & THE GLORIOUS FIRST OF JUNE.' — a patriotic reference to the naval victory of 1 June 1794. The portrait is rendered in fine relief with careful attention to the subject's uniform and facial features, in the neoclassical style typical of late 18th-century English token engraving. |
