| Reverse description | The central field depicts a bust-length portrait of Sir Walter Raleigh in Elizabethan dress, wearing a plumed hat and an elaborate lace ruff collar, positioned in the lower left. To the right, a detailed rendering of a fully-rigged Elizabethan galleon sails upon stylized waves, with sails set and rigging finely engraved. Behind both figures, a silhouette map of the North American continent occupies the upper field, evoking Raleigh's expeditions to the New World. The arc legend SIR WALTER RALEIGH 1552 - 1618 runs along the upper rim, and the denomination 1 CROWN is inscribed at the base of the design. |
