| Reverse description | Detailed relief depiction of Robert Stephenson's pioneering steam locomotive 'Rocket', shown in broadside view occupying the central field, its characteristic tall chimney stack, angled cylinders, and large spoked driving wheels faithfully rendered. A figure of a stoker or engineman in period dress stands to the right of the locomotive holding a shovel. The locomotive's nameplate bearing the inscription ROCKET is prominently displayed on the boiler. The legend FIVE POUNDS runs vertically along the left field, while 1829 RAINHILL arcs along the upper periphery, commemorating the historic Rainhill Trials of 1829. |
