| Reverse description | A detailed depiction of a screw press or coining mill occupies the central field, rendered with fine engraving showing the overhead flywheel, vertical screw mechanism, and base machinery characteristic of late 18th-century Birmingham manufacturing equipment. Various tools and finished goods are scattered about the base, evoking the industrial character of the manufactory. The circular legend LUTWYCHES MANUFACTORY arcs along the upper periphery, with BIRMINGHAM inscribed in the lower exergue beneath a horizontal ground line. |
