| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by David Knapton, depicts Paddington Bear in his iconic wide-brimmed hat, duffle coat, and Wellington boots, standing three-quarter length to the left in the foreground. Behind him, rendered in precise architectural detail, rises the façade of the Tower of London, including its characteristic crenellated walls, arched windows, and turrets with cupolas. The composition juxtaposes the whimsical literary character against one of Britain's most historic landmarks, creating a charming contrast between fiction and heritage. The designer's initials DK appear incused to the right of the architectural detail in the mid-field. The mirrored proof surfaces accentuate the fine detail of both the figural and architectural elements. |
