(for Isabel II) set within radiating sun rays emanating from a central point, symbolizing royal authority. The surrounding circular legend of the host coin reads '2R • G • 1832 • M • J • 10 Ds . 20Gs.' denoting the denomination, assayer initials, date, and fineness specifications. The reeded border of the host coin remains visible at the periphery. |
