| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large fully-rigged galleon under sail dominates the right portion of the field, accompanied by additional vessels in the background, evoking the 1588 Spanish Armada engagement. To the left, a crowned Royal Arms shield within a laurel wreath is depicted in relief. The arc legend THE HISTORY OF GREAT BRITAIN curves along the upper rim, the date 1588 appears below it to the left, and the inscription 1/2G .9999 FINEST GOLD is engraved along the lower rim. |
