| Reverse description | The reverse presents an ornate Baroque-style composition by John Bergdahl, centred on a deconstructed silver lily font incorporating cherub figures and rose motifs, elements emblematic of royal christening ceremony. A cartouche in Baroque style frames the commemorative inscription recording the christening of Prince George of Cambridge in 2013. The royal motto DIEU ET MON DROIT appears within the design, and the engraver's initials JB are present in the field. The overall composition is richly decorative, evoking traditional heraldic and ecclesiastical imagery appropriate to the occasion. |
