| Reverse description | Right-facing uncrowned portrait bust of Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, engraved by Ian Rank-Broadley to commemorate his 60th birthday, with the engraver's initials IRB visible below the truncation. The upper legend reads ·THE PRINCE OF WALES·, flanking the bust on either side. The lower portion of the field bears the dates 1948 and 2008 at left and right respectively, with the Welsh motto ·ICH DIEN· (I Serve) inscribed along the lower arc. A fine toothed border frames the entire design, and the proof finish imparts exceptional contrast between the mirrored fields and frosted portrait relief. |
