| Reverse description | The reverse features a richly detailed colorized composition commemorating Governor Philip Gidley King, third Governor of New South Wales (1800–1806). To the lower left, a raised silver portrait bust of King in naval uniform is depicted against the polished field, flanked by a relief chain motif symbolizing the convict era. The colorized central vignette depicts a colonial scene with figures in period dress, including convicts and a soldier, before a building with a notice board. Overlaid in the lower center are representations of period coins — a British copper coin bearing Britannia and a gold coin displaying a royal coat of arms — rendered in color. The curved legend GOVERNOR PHILIP GIDLEY KING arcs along the upper border, with the dates 1800–1806 inscribed in the lower field. |
