| Reverse description | The central field depicts a dramatic scene from Arthur Conan Doyle's short story 'The Empty House,' showing Sherlock Holmes overpowering Colonel Sebastian Moran, who is shown struggling on the ground while a bowler-hatted figure raises a weapon above him; a window frame is visible in the background to the right. The incuse title THE EMPTY HOUSE appears in the left field. The circular legend 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1 CROWN is inscribed along the lower border, separated by raised dots. The scene is rendered in high relief with finely detailed figural work against a mirrored proof field. |
