| Obverse description | A full-rigged sailing ship occupies the central field, depicted in profile sailing to the right with sails billowing and rigging rendered in fine detail. The Union Jack flies from the mizzen mast, affirming the vessel's British allegiance. The hull is shown riding stylized waves above a series of horizontal lines representing the sea. No peripheral legend appears on this face; instead, a continuous beaded border frames the entire design. The engraving, attributed to Thomas Halliday of Birmingham, displays a bold, confident style characteristic of early nineteenth-century British token coinage. |
