| Reverse description | A large, naturalistically rendered cedar tree with dramatically spreading, layered branches dominates the right portion of the field, its foliage depicted with fine engraved detail. To the left, a crumbling ivy-covered stone ruin featuring an arched opening evokes the picturesque aesthetic fashionable in late eighteenth-century English taste. The exergue bears the Biblical citation 1. KINGS: CH:4 V:33 in two lines. A peripheral legend, separated by small mullet stops, completes the Biblical quotation begun on the obverse, reading from the lower left upward around the coin. |
