| Obverse description | Standing figure of Bladud, legendary founder of Bath, facing left, depicted as a hunter bearing a bow and quiver of arrows. The figure is rendered in neo-classical style within the central field. A circular legend surrounds the design, divided at left by an acorn and at right by an oak leaf, which serve as decorative stops separating the two directions of the inscription. |

| Reverse description | A prominent lion-faced tea urn occupies the central field, depicted with a grotesque lion-mask spout, domed and fluted lid surmounted by a finial, and scrolled legs on a stepped base; ring handles are visible on either side of the body. A six-pointed star appears above the urn at the top of the field. The circular legend names the issuer's trade in capital letters around the periphery, while the name F.
