| Reverse description | Intaglio-engraved allegorical figure of Britannia standing facing right, holding a small winged Victory in her outstretched right hand and a grounded spear in her left, her form flanked on either side by the abbreviated Latin legend. The design evokes a neoclassical pattern-coin aesthetic, with the figure rendered in fine incised lines against a polished field, recalling the Bonomi pattern tradition of the nineteenth century. |
