| Reverse description | A highly stylized and dramatic depiction of the Great Fire of London of 1666, designed by Aaron West. The central field shows the City of London skyline engulfed in flames, with boldly rendered swirling plumes of smoke billowing upward in a decorative, almost baroque manner filling the upper portion of the design. Below the burning cityscape, the River Thames is shown in dark relief, populated with small boats and vessels carrying refugees and their belongings fleeing the conflagration. The engraver's initials 'AW' appear in the lower right field. The commemorative inscription arcs around the upper rim, while the denomination 'TWO POUNDS' is inscribed along the lower border. |
