| Reverse description | Central depiction of the Lewis Chessman known as the King, a medieval chess piece carved from walrus ivory, shown seated on a throne and wearing an elaborate crown. The figure is rendered in precise relief, faithfully reproducing the Romanesque sculptural style of the original artifact, which was crafted in Norway circa AD 1150–1200 and discovered in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, as part of a hoard of 93 pieces. The design captures the intricate detailing of the ivory original, set within a plain field. |
