| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a bold, high-relief rendering of a medieval king chess piece, closely inspired by the famous Lewis Chessmen of the 12th century. The rotund, enthroned king figure is shown in three-quarter view, wearing a bejeweled crown and robes with detailed decorative borders, his bearded face rendered with wide, staring eyes in the characteristically stylized Romanesque manner. The king's right hand rests upon a sword laid across his lap, while his left hand grips the throne armrest, conveying regal authority. The design fills the broad mirror field with no peripheral legend, allowing the sculptural quality of the chess piece to dominate the composition. |
