| Reverse description | Standing figure of Britannia, helmeted and robed, rides a chariot drawn by two galloping horses along a seashore, evoking a classical allegorical composition symbolic of British maritime power. The horses surge forward dynamically, with waves and the shoreline visible in the lower field, lending movement and depth to the design. The engraver's initials PN appear discreetly within the design. The surrounding legend reads BRITANNIA, with QUARTER OUNCE FINE SILVER and the date 1997 completing the inscription. The design was executed by Philip Nathan in a confident neoclassical style. |
