| Reverse description | The standing figure of Britannia depicted in dynamic pose, facing left with windswept hair and flowing drapery, holding a trident upright in her right hand and an olive branch in her lowered left hand, a shield bearing the Union Jack device at her side. The design by Philip Nathan is framed by a continuous Greek key (meander) border encircling the inner field, giving the coin its distinctive Oriental Border designation.
