| Reverse description | Within the copper-nickel centre, a dynamic classical scene depicts Hercules subduing the Cretan Bull, shown in high relief as a muscular male figure wrestling the rearing beast to the ground. A tablet inscribed THE CRETAN BULL appears above the figural group, while a decorative Greek-key meander frieze separates the central scene from the denomination numeral 2 below. The outer nickel-brass ring carries the legend THE LABOURS OF HERCULES arcing around the upper portion and POUNDS along the lower portion, flanked by ornamental dots. |
