| Reverse description | Printed entirely in blue, the reverse is dominated by an elaborate intaglio design centred on a circular vignette of a full-rigged sailing vessel at sea, encircled by the colonial motto banner. Flanking the central medallion are two large symmetrical guilloche rosettes, with dense scrollwork and foliate arabesque borders filling the surrounding field. |
