| Reverse description | A detailed depiction of the iron barque West Riding under full sail occupies the gold-toned aluminium bronze centre, rendered with fine engraving showing the ship's rigging, masts, and hull upon stylised waves. The copper-nickel outer ring bears the denomination legend TWENTY FIVE PENCE arcing along the lower portion, flanked by a beaded border on both the inner and outer edges. The composition creates a striking bimetallic contrast between the ship design and the surrounding ring. |
