| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of Merlin, the legendary wizard of Arthurian lore, seated at a writing table and rendered in high relief against a mirrored proof field. The bearded, elderly sorcerer wears a wide-brimmed pointed hat and robes, and is shown consulting or writing upon a scroll. Surrounding him on and around the table are various mystical and alchemical objects including a skull, stacked books, alchemical flasks and vessels, a mortar and pestle, a lit candle, and a winged figure. Astrological symbols including a scorpion and a crescent moon are scattered in the left field. The encircling border legend 'THE LEGEND OF KING ARTHUR · MERLIN' arcs across the upper field, with 'C' and star ornaments flanking it, while '5 CROWN' appears at the base flanked by stars. |
