| Reverse description | The left field carries the arms of the East India Company — a shield supported by two lions rampant, surmounted by a lion passant guardant and flanked by two flags — above the Latin motto on a ribbon scroll. To the right, the colonial seal of Saint Helena presents a sailing ship within a cartouche. Both vignettes are framed by an elaborate guilloche border, with a large numeral '5' occupying the central field. |
