| Reverse description | Central motif depicting a hand holding a feathered quill pen in the act of writing, evoking the final diary entry made by Samuel Pepys on 31 May 1669. The legend 'SAMUEL PEPYS DIARIST' arcs above the principal device, while the commemorative dates '1669 - 2019' appear below, marking the 350th anniversary of the diary's conclusion. The inscription 'Samuel Pepys May.31.1669' and the Royal Mint's 'GB' privy mark are also present in the field. The design, by Gary Breeze, captures the intimate scholarly character of the diarist's literary legacy. |
