| Reverse description | A cruciform arrangement of four crowned shields of arms fills the reverse field, separated by crossed sceptres. The uppermost shield bears the quarterly arms of England and Scotland; the left shield displays the arms of Brunswick and Luneburg; the right shield bears the fleurs-de-lis of France; and the lower shield shows the Irish harp. At the centre of the cross is a small escutcheon charged with the crown of Charlemagne, representing the office of Arch-Treasurer of the Holy Roman Empire. The date, split as 17 and 16, appears in the legend above the uppermost shield, with the full peripheral Latin inscription referencing the king's German titles reading BRVN ET·L·DVX S·I·R·A·TH ET·EL. |
