| Reverse description | The central device displays the Arms of Liverpool: a cormorant (Liver Bird) perched atop a heraldic shield charged with another Liver Bird, the whole enclosed within an ornamental cartouche or wreath of palm and laurel branches. The date 1791 appears in the lower exergue, flanked by decorative stops. The circular legend DEUS NOBIS HÆC OTIA FECIT — a Virgilian motto translating as 'God has bestowed these blessings on us' — runs around the periphery, separated by a denticulated border, emphasising the civic pride and mercantile prosperity of late 18th-century Liverpool. |
