Reverse description Facing bust of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson in full dress naval uniform, wearing his cocked hat and decorated with a star-shaped order on his left breast, as sculpted by James Butler. The legend HORATIO NELSON arcs across the upper field, flanked by the commemorative dates 1805 and 2005 in the lower field to left and right respectively, marking the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar and Nelson's death. The designer's initials JB appear discreetly in the lower field. The portrait captures Nelson's distinctive features and period naval dress with accomplished sculptural detail.
