| Reverse description | A stylised frontal bust of Alfred the Great rendered in a neo-Anglo-Saxon manuscript illumination style, with interlaced foliate scrollwork and acanthus-like tendrils flanking the figure on both sides, evoking the artistic conventions of ninth-century Wessex. The figure is depicted with arms crossed at the waist, set within an inner beaded border. The legend ALFRED THE GREAT arcs around the upper field, with the date of his accession 871 to the right and the issue year 2021 prominently displayed in the lower exergue; the engraver's initials JB appear at the lower right of the inner field. |
