| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic scene from Arthur Conan Doyle's short story 'The Empty House,' commemorating the 100th anniversary of Sherlock Holmes's fictional return. In the central field, two figures are shown in vigorous struggle: a standing man in a bowler hat raises a weapon above his head while grappling with a second crouching figure, with a doorway rendered in geometric lines to the right. The title THE EMPTY HOUSE appears in raised lettering to the left of the central design within an inner circle. The surrounding legend reads 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES arcing around the upper field, with the denomination 1 CROWN appearing at the base, all separated by raised dots. |
