| Reverse description | A highly detailed naturalistic depiction of a Hawthorn Shieldbug (Acanthosoma haemorrhoidale) occupying the central field, rendered with fine engraving that captures the insect's characteristic shield-shaped body, textured scutellum with punctate detailing, wing cases, and six articulated legs. The denomination TEN PENCE arcs along the upper border, while the species name HAWTHORN SHIELDBUG curves along the lower border. The composition is set against a plain, unadorned field, emphasising the naturalistic rendering of the subject. |
