| Obverse description | A fully-rigged sailing ship navigates to the right above stylized waves, its multiple masts carrying furled and set sails. A Union Jack flag flies from the foremast, identifying the vessel as sailing under British colors. The hull and rigging are rendered in fine detail, with the bowsprit extending to the right. The design fills the field and is enclosed within a beaded border. |
