| Reverse description | Portrait of Agatha Christie holding a quill pen, rendered in detailed relief, occupying the central field. Surrounding the effigy are iconic elements drawn from her most celebrated novels: a steamship referencing 'Death on the Nile', a country manor and a gramophone evoking 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd', a locomotive representing 'The 4:50 from Paddington', and an isolated house perched on a clifftop alluding to 'Crooked House'. The author's name, birth and death years, and the date of issue are inscribed in the legend. |
