| Reverse description | The central intaglio vignette renders Captain James Cook's landing at Botany Bay in 1770, with period-costumed naval figures on the shoreline and a sailing vessel in the background. Ornamental pound sterling symbols (£1) flank the vignette on either side, with numeral "1" counters within decorative scrollwork at each corner, all framed by green guilloche borders. No printer's imprint appears. |
