| Reverse description | A faithful rendition of William Dyce's celebrated reverse design from the 1847 Victorian Gothic Crown, featuring the quartered royal arms arranged in a cruciform pattern within an ornate Gothic shield. The quarters display the three passant guardant lions of England (quarters one and four), the rampant lion of Scotland (quarter two), and the Irish harp (quarter three), with the central escutcheon bearing the arms of Hanover replaced by a Tudor rose. The elaborate Gothic cross dividing the shield is richly ornamented with floral and architectural tracery in high relief. A crowned royal shield surmounts the design, and the entire composition is encircled by the Garter motto 'HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE' on a decorated bordure. The outer legend in blackened Gothic script reads 'TUEATUR UNITA DEUS' above and 'ANNO DOM MDCCCXLVII' below. |
