| Reverse description | A satirical political scene depicting a crowned figure, commonly identified as George III, mounted on a bull bearing the head of an ass, riding to the left with a raised sceptre held in the right hand. The composition is rendered in low relief with strong satirical intent, alluding to royal tyranny and folly. The legend AM I NOT THINE ASS encircles the design, forming a pointed political commentary referencing the biblical story of Balaam's ass. |
