| Reverse description | A dynamic, high-relief design by Susan Taylor depicting a wind-swept maiden in profile facing left, her long flowing hair swept back by the breeze. Her raised right hand releases a seabird into the air above, while her left hand is outstretched toward a sailing ship rendered in the middle distance on stylised waves. The garment draped across her figure is ornamented with horizontal stripes and a constellation of stars, evoking maritime and celestial motifs associated with the legend of The Maiden's Cove. The engraver's initials PK appear in the lower centre of the field. |
