| Reverse description | The reverse features a sweeping landscape view of Scafell Pike, the highest peak in England, rising majestically above a calm and reflective lake in the Lake District, evoking the romantic naturalism associated with William Wordsworth's poetry. The composition, engraved by David Lawrence, captures the rugged grandeur of the Cumbrian fells in finely detailed relief, with the still waters of the lake occupying the lower portion of the field. The dates 1770 and 1850, marking Wordsworth's birth and death years, flank his name in a legend arching above the central design. A celebrated quotation from the poet, "Nature never did betray the heart that loved her," is inscribed below, serving as the reverse legend. The design commemorates the 250th anniversary of Wordsworth's birth. |
