| Reverse description | Two facing royal busts in high relief, enclosed within a raised circular frame at center: on the left, the crowned and bearded effigy of Edward the Confessor facing right, and on the right, the crowned effigy of Harold II facing left, as engraved by Michael Rizzello. The denomination 25 DOLLARS is inscribed in the central field between the two portraits. The peripheral legend reads EDWARD THE CONFESSOR · 1042–1066 arcing along the upper left and HAROLD · II · 1066 along the upper right, with a small cross pattée ornament at top right and another at the base. The overall composition reflects a commemorative medallic style befitting the Kings of England series. |
