| Reverse description | Central design depicting confronted foreparts of a lion and a bull facing one another, rendered in high relief and closely based on the iconic bichrome imagery of the ancient Lydian electrum coinage of King Kroisos (c. 560–546 BC). The word ELECTRUM appears in a curved legend above the devices, while the denomination 1 CROWN is inscribed in the lower exergual field. The design captures the archaic artistic style of the original stater prototype with bold, stylised forms against a mirrored proof field. |
