| Reverse description | Highly detailed allegorical scene inspired by Edmund Spenser's epic poem The Faerie Queene, designed by Joel Iskowitz. At left, a graceful robed female figure — representing Una or the Faerie Queene — extends her hand toward a fully armoured knight mounted on a rearing horse at right, evoking the encounter of virtue and chivalry. A winged dragon soars through the dark upper field above a distant gothic castle, heightening the medieval fantasy atmosphere. The engraver's initials JI appear at the lower centre, and the EIC monogram is visible in the upper right field. The legend THE FAERIE QUEENE arcs across the upper border in bold serif lettering. |
