| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic scene from H.G. Wells' novel 'The War of the Worlds', featuring HMS Thunder Child, a Victorian-era ironclad torpedo ram, rendered in high relief and advancing through choppy seas toward the left. A Martian tripod war machine, with its characteristic hood-like canopy and articulated legs, looms menacingly to the left of the vessel. Dark clouds billow in the upper-right background, evoking the atmosphere of the alien conflict. The curved legend THE WAR OF THE WORLDS arcs along the upper periphery in an italic serif script, and HMS THUNDER CHILD is inscribed along the lower field in matching style. |
