| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed depiction of the Chinese Pagoda at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, rising prominently in the centre of the field. A stylised climbing vine encircles the pagoda, framing the composition within the heptagonal format. The commemorative dates 1759 and 2009 flank the central motif, marking the 250th anniversary of Kew Gardens, with the name KEW inscribed below. The design, by artist Christopher Le Brun, combines botanical and architectural elements in a refined, engravers' style characteristic of Royal Mint commemorative issues. |
