Reverse description Central depiction of Edward the Confessor, shown seated and facing front within an ornate oval wreath frame, wearing a crown and royal robes, and holding a model of Westminster Abbey in his left hand. The figure is rendered in a medieval manuscript style with a nimbus or halo behind his crowned head, reflecting his status as a canonized saint. The upper legend reads 'ROYAL HERITAGE · EDWARD THE CONFESSOR' around the outer circumference, while the regnal dates '1042' and '1066' flank a small heraldic shield in the lower field below the wreath. The overall design evokes the historical and ecclesiastical legacy of the Anglo-Saxon king.
