| Reverse description | A crowned quartered shield of arms — bearing the arms of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland — occupies the centre of the field, overlaid with a smaller inescutcheon surmounted by its own crown. The shield is encircled by the Garter bearing the motto HONI SOIT Q MAL Y PENSE in raised letters, with the whole composition enclosed within a circular legend. The design was engraved by Thomas Wyon the Younger and exemplifies the heraldic precision of the New Coinage reverse type. |
