| Reverse description | The central device depicts a Tudor crown adorned with alternating crosses pattée and fleurs-de-lis, with a dagger or short sword thrust diagonally through it, evoking the themes of power, treachery, and royal ambition central to Shakespeare's history plays. The design by John Bergdahl is set within a recessed inner circle, flanked at the base by Tudor rose and floral ornamental sprigs. The legend WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE arcs around the upper periphery, with the date 2016 prominently displayed at the base, and the engraver's initials JB appear discreetly in the lower field. |
