| Reverse description | A three-quarter facing portrait bust of the English playwright William Shakespeare dominates the right portion of the field, rendered in fine relief and depicting the subject in period Elizabethan dress with a broad lace collar. To the left, a detailed representation of the Globe Theatre in London appears in the middle ground. The dates 1564 and 1616, marking Shakespeare's birth and death years respectively, are inscribed in two lines at the lower left, and the mint year 1999 appears in the lower centre of the field. The legend WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE arcs along the upper border in bold raised Latin lettering. |
