| Reverse description | A finely detailed high-relief scene commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party of 1773 fills the entire rectangular field. Multiple figures, some disguised as Mohawk warriors, are depicted aboard a tall ship heaving large tea chests overboard into Boston Harbour, with masts, rigging, and the ship's hull rendered in meticulous engraved detail across the mid and lower field. The legend THE BOSTON TEA PARTY appears in bold raised lettering within a framed panel across the upper portion of the field, while the inscription 250 YEARS runs vertically along the left border. Decorative five-petalled floral ornaments are placed at each corner of the rectangular border. |
