| Reverse description | A pastoral and maritime landscape scene fills the central field, depicting in the foreground a ploughman guiding a plough drawn by two horses across a field, representing Suffolk's agricultural economy, while in the background a large full-rigged sailing vessel under sail dominates the middle ground, alluding to the maritime trade of the port of Ipswich. The central design is flanked by crossed oak branches forming a wreath at the base of the field, with a small six-petalled flower ornament at the bottom. The peripheral legend GOD PRESERVE THE PLOUGH & SAIL * runs around the full circumference in bold Latin lettering, separated by a small star stop. The scene is rendered with fine engraving detail characteristic of the Pingo workshop. |
