| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-color applied illustration within the inner brass core depicting a Roman merchant vessel of approximately AD 190, shown underway with a large square mainsail set and a smaller foresail, the hull rendered in dark tones against a stylized golden sun disc and blue-green water. The inscriptions ROMAN MERCHANT SHIP appear in the field flanking the vessel, and the date notation AD 190 is inscribed in the lower field of the core. The outer brass ring carries the series legend A HISTORY OF WORLD SHIPPING arcing along the upper periphery, with the mint year 1998 prominently displayed at the base, all within a beaded inner border. |
