| Reverse description | A wide polychrome vignette set within an arched frame presents the village church of Roda (built 1251) with its distinctive bulbous spire rising above the rooftops in the centre background. In the left foreground a seated potter works clay vessels, while a seated glassblower with flasks and glassware occupies the right foreground, together symbolising the local ceramic and glass industries. Two heraldic shields appear in the upper corners of the arch.
