| Reverse description | The reverse centres on a large ornamental cipher formed by the conjoined initials W and H, rendered in elaborate decorative script, representing the issuer William Horton of Stafford. A small cross crosslet appears on either side of the central cipher as decorative punctuation. Below the monogram is a device intended to represent the Staffordshire knot, though executed in an imprecise or stylised form that departs from the heraldic original. The peripheral legend reads PENNY + W H +, with the plus signs serving as stops. A toothed border encircles the entire design. |
