Reverse description Central field features a pilchard fish oriented to the right, flanked on either side by cakes of copper and ingots of tin, representing the principal commercial products of Cornwall. The composition is tightly arranged within the field, with the fish as the dominant motif, underscoring the importance of both mining and fishing to the local economy. The legend FOR THE ACCOMMODATION OF THE COUNTY * encircles the design along the periphery, separated by a single asterisk. A beaded border frames the entire reverse design, consistent with the milled token coinage of the Napoleonic-era emergency issues.
