| Reverse description | A highly detailed rendering of a fully rigged clipper ship under full sail, inspired by Jack Spurling's painting commemorating the Great Tea Race of 1866, occupying the majority of the reverse field. The ship is depicted surging through choppy seas with dolphins leaping in the foreground and a second vessel visible in the background to the lower left. The legend 'THE GREAT TEA RACE OF 1866' arcs boldly around the upper and right rim in large raised capitals, while the secondary inscription 'BE THE FIRST TO DOCK IN LONDON / 150TH ANNIVERSARY 2016' appears in smaller lettering to the left of the central design. |
