| Reverse description | Central portrait of Boy Seaman First Class Jack Cornwell VC, depicted as a young sailor in Royal Navy uniform with his cap bearing the legend HMS CHESTER (shown on the coin as HMS LANCASTER per the image), rendered in high sculptural relief. To the left of the figure, a warship amid smoke and flames evokes the Battle of Jutland; to the right, a naval gun and a kneeling figure reference Cornwell's act of heroic duty at his gun station. Flanking poppy sprigs and barbed wire form a decorative border in the inner field. The arc legend above reads 1914 THE FIRST WORLD WAR 1918, and the name JACK CORNWELL VC appears in the lower exergue. The engraver's initials DC appear below the central portrait. |
