| Reverse description | The central field depicts a dramatic scene commemorating the martyrdom of Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury and principal architect of the English Reformation, shown at the stake amid flames and a gathered crowd, with a tall post or pillar rising in the background. To the right of the central composition, within a small circular cartouche set against a frosted field, appears an open Bible crossed with a quill pen, symbolising the Reformation's scriptural and literary legacy. The legend ENGLISH REFORMATION arcs along the upper border, and FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the lower border, both set against a deeply recessed, polished annular band. |
