| Reverse description | A formal portrait bust of Queen Anne faces left, rendered in period baroque style and set within an ornate decorative frame incorporating the Royal Arms. The design commemorates the tercentenary of the queen's death and evokes the heraldic grandeur of early eighteenth-century British coinage. The legend above the portrait invokes her royal title in Latin, while the dates of her life appear below. The overall composition reflects the work of engraver Mark Richards, combining portraiture and heraldry in a richly detailed proof design. |
