| Reverse description | Central depiction of Sir Isaac Newton seated at a writing desk, rendered in fine relief against a polished proof field, holding a quill pen in his right hand and resting upon an open book or manuscript. A large telescope extends diagonally across the composition from his left side. To the right of the central figure, within a raised circular cartouche, appears a stylised apple — an iconic allusion to Newton's formulation of the law of universal gravitation. A small inscription, partially legible, appears to the left of the figure. The legend SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION arcs along the upper periphery, and the denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the lower border, all separated from the central design by a raised inner ring. |
