| Reverse description | The reverse depicts three allegorical female figures in high relief: a winged Victory on the left crowning a kneeling semi-draped figure representing Industry or Art with a palm branch, while a standing robed figure representing Britannia or Commerce holds a caduceus at right. A recumbent lion appears at lower left, and artistic implements including a harp and globe are visible at lower right. A crossed palm branch and laurel wreath occupy the lower exergue, with the engraver's signature G.G. ADAMS beneath the main scene. The Latin legend arcs across the upper field. |
