Reverse description Seated female figure facing left, representing Britannia in a pose closely echoing that found on official British copper coinage of the period, holding a long staff or spear in her right hand and resting upon a shield at her left side. The peripheral legend RULE BRIT AN NIA · is arranged in widely spaced Latin capitals around the upper and lateral fields, deliberately fragmented to evade the Coinage Acts. The date 1771 appears prominently in the exergue beneath a ground line, below the seated figure.
