| Reverse description | Three state trumpets, rendered in bold relief, rise from a bed of elaborately embroidered heraldic banners bearing decorative motifs including a rearing horse, scrollwork, and foliate ornaments, evoking the pageantry of a royal fanfare. The Latin legend VIVAT REGINA arcs prominently across the upper field, flanked by the birth year 1926 at the left and the commemorative year 2006 at the right, marking the Queen's 80th birthday. The engraver's initials DSW appear discreetly in the lower right field. The composition is conceived in a bold, stylised manner by Danuta Solowiej-Wedderburn. |
