| Obverse description | Heraldic achievement of the Earls of Peterborough (Mordaunt family) occupying the central field, comprising a shield charged with a chevron between three mullets above and below, surmounted by an earl's coronet and a crest. Two avian supporters flank the shield on either side — an eagle displayed to the left and a cockatrice to the right. A foliate mantling issues from behind the coronet. The Latin motto legend NEC PLACIDO CONTENTA QUIETE EST curves along the lower periphery, with a beaded border encircling the entire design. |
