| Reverse description | Central device depicts the Sovereign's Orb, one of the principal regalia of the British Crown Jewels, rendered in fine detail with a bejewelled equatorial band, a mound surmounted by an ornate jewelled cross pattée, and an elaborately decorated lower hemisphere. The legend THE CROWN JEWELS arcs across the upper field, while THE SOVEREIGN'S ORB appears in the lower field, both inscriptions flanked by raised dot stops. The plain mirror field provides strong contrast to the intricately modelled orb. |
