| Reverse description | A highly detailed relief portrait of the British Royal Navy battlecruiser H.M.S. Hood is depicted in profile, sailing on stylized waves that fill the lower field of the rectangular flan. The vessel is rendered with exceptional precision, showing the ship's superstructure, twin gun turrets, masts, and a naval ensign at the stern. A bold legend 'FAMOUS BATTLESHIPS' appears in a banner-style panel below the central image, with the ship's name '»H.M.S. Hood«' inscribed immediately beneath it. The date '2011' is positioned in the lower exergue. The overall composition is framed by a raised border consistent with the bar-ingot format of the piece. |
