Reverse description The Royal Arms of England and France quarterly — France Ancient (semé of fleurs-de-lis) in the first and fourth quarters, England (three passant guardant lions) in the second and third — displayed upon a large Tudor double rose, the petals of which form a lobed frame around the central shield. The rose is surmounted by a royal crown and flanked by elaborate floral and foliate ornaments, with a dragon supporter visible to the right and a lis mintmark to the upper left, consistent with the Group IV classification. The surrounding legend in Gothic uncial lettering conveys the Vulgate passage from Luke 4:30, separated from the inner device by a beaded circle.
