Reverse description A dramatic high-relief depiction of a pair of hands holding aloft a human skull, evoking the celebrated gravedigger scene from Shakespeare's Hamlet. To the left of the central motif, the iconic soliloquy is rendered in flowing calligraphic script across the field. The denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed in a straight legend along the upper rim, above the principal design. The composition is framed by a plain inner border, lending a theatrical and contemplative quality to the overall design.
