| Reverse description | Central device features the royal arms of England as borne by Charles II, comprising a quartered shield displaying the arms of England (three passant guardant lions), France (fleurs-de-lis), Scotland (a rampant lion), and Ireland (a harp), surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is rendered in moderate relief typical of hammered technique. The surrounding circular legend reads 'KINGE. OF. GREAT. BRITAINE. FRANCE. AND. IRELAND.' with stops separating each word, affirming the full royal title of Charles II. The composition is bold and heraldic in style, consistent with contemporaneous English regal coinage design. |
