| Reverse description | The reverse commemorates the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible, featuring a bold typographic design set within a polished circular field. To the right, the celebrated opening verse of the Gospel of John — 'In the beginning was the Word' — is rendered in Gothic blackletter script. To the left, the same text appears as a mirror image, evoking the reflective symmetry of a printed page spread. The commemorative legend KING JAMES BIBLE arcs around the upper border, while the anniversary dates 1611—2011 appear in the lower exergue. |
