| Reverse description | The central device features an interlaced royal cypher composed of two mirrored letter Es surmounted by a royal crown, all in high relief and finely engraved by Leslie Durbin. A Tudor rose appears to the left of the cypher and a Scottish thistle to the right, both rendered in naturalistic detail as heraldic emblems of the United Kingdom. The commemorative inscription encircles the design around the periphery, with the dates 1900 and 1990 flanking a central dot below the cypher, marking the ninetieth birthday of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. The overall composition is formal and heraldic in character, befitting a gold proof commemorative issue. |
