| Reverse description | A large ornate tournament helmet shown in three-quarter view, surmounted by a small crown or coronet with decorative finial, flanked by elaborate foliate or scroll mantling spreading to either side of the field. A broad, fluted crown forms the base of the composition, with sweeping acanthus-like crest mantling filling the flanking areas. The design is rendered in a bold Renaissance style within a beaded border with no surrounding legend. |
