Reverse description Central depiction of the three-masted armed vessel HMAV Bounty under full sail, shown underway on an engraved sea, with the sails selectively gilt in gold to create a striking two-tone effect. A stylised cartographic globe forms the background, its grid lines and landmasses rendered in relief across the field. The vessel's hull, rigging, and waves are finely detailed. A rectangular tablet in the lower field bears the incuse inscription HMAV BOUNTY. The entire design is enclosed within a decorative rope-and-dash inner border.
