| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed high-relief engraving commemorating the Boston Tea Party of 1773, depicting a panoramic harbour scene with multiple tall-masted sailing vessels moored at a wharf, their complex rigging rendered with exceptional intricacy. Figures can be discerned on the dock and aboard the ships, evoking the historic protest of 16 December 1773. The legend THE BOSTON TEA PARTY is inscribed in bold capital letters within a raised panel along the upper border of the rectangular field. Along the right margin, the commemorative date range 1773 - 2023 is inscribed vertically, flanked above and below by decorative star ornaments. |
