| Reverse description | Left-facing bust of Sir Isaac Newton depicted in period dress with long flowing curled wig, characteristic of late 17th-century portraiture, struck in high relief against a plain field. Flanking the portrait are symbolic allusions to Newton's principal scientific achievements, including a falling apple referencing his theory of universal gravitation and a prism element referencing his work in optics. The arched legend SIR ISAAC NEWTON with the dates 1642–1727 curves along the upper periphery, while a facsimile of Newton's signature in cursive script appears in the lower exergue. |
