| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborately engraved decorative composition derived from Indo-Portuguese furniture marquetry motifs, depicting a stylized flowering tree or plant with large blossoms and sweeping foliage, centered upon a vase rendered in blue enamel with a geometric lattice pattern. A bird in flight is shown perched centrally among the branches. Two sinuous serpentine or vine tendrils flank the vase in the lower field.
