| Reverse description | The full royal arms of King William IV, elaborately rendered as a heraldic achievement with the quartered shield displaying the arms of England, Scotland, and Ireland, surmounted by a royal crown of State. The shield is draped with an ermine-lined mantle decorated with floral emblems and tasselled cords, the whole composition occupying nearly the full flan in deeply sculpted high relief. A floral wreath of rose, thistle, and shamrock decorates the base of the composition. The surrounding legend, divided to left and right of the design, reads 'INSIGNIA GULIELMI IV BRITANNIAE REGIS', meaning 'The Arms of William IV, King of Britain'. The design is based on the original heraldic imagery associated with William IV's reign (1830–1837). |
