| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a full-bodied ram standing to the left in the central field, its fleece rendered in fine detail. Above the ram, a pineapple surmounts a staff or pole adorned with a flowing ribbon or drape. The peripheral legend, in Latin, reads SIC VOS NON VOBIS VELLERA FERTIS OVES (meaning 'thus you bear fleeces, sheep, not for yourselves'), a classical quotation alluding to the wool trade, separated by a small ornamental stop at the base. The design is enclosed within a fine dentilated border. |
