| Reverse description | A dynamic and detailed nautical battle scene depicting HMS Revenge, a late 16th-century Elizabethan galleon, engaged in close combat with an enemy vessel amid turbulent seas. The two multi-masted sailing warships are shown alongside one another with rigging, cannon, and crew rendered in fine relief. A White Ensign flies from the mainmast of the principal vessel in the upper field, flanked by the denomination FIVE POUNDS. The border legend THE HISTORY OF THE ROYAL NAVY arcs around the upper periphery, while HMS REVENGE appears prominently in the lower legend, the whole design framed by a rope border. |
