| Reverse description | A full-color applied image dominates the central field, depicting a portrait of Sir Francis Drake after a period oil painting, showing him three-quarter length in Elizabethan dress with a distinctive ruff collar and red doublet, his right hand resting on a terrestrial globe. Behind him, a large period galleon under full sail is rendered against a blue sky and sea. The surrounding border features relief engravings of cannons and a fallen warrior. The series legend 'THE GREATEST WARLORDS OF HISTORY' arcs along the upper periphery, the date '2009' appears to the right in the field, and the name 'SIR FRANCIS DRAKE' is inscribed on a label at the base of the colored vignette. |
