| Reverse description | Printed in purple. At centre, within a circular guilloche pattern, appears a vignette derived from the island's colonial badge: the twin volcanic peaks of Gros Piton and Petit Piton rise above a harbour foreground in which four sailing vessels ride at anchor; the sun is shown rising to the right. The Royal Ensign flies from the left pier and the Red Ensign from the right pier. The colony's Latin motto appears below the central vignette. |
| Reverse lettering | Statio Haud Malefida Carinis (Translation: [Latin motto] 'A safe anchorage for ships') |
