| Reverse description | The reverse displays the flattened and distorted remnants of the host coin's original design, showing ghosted impressions of what appears to be a crowned royal coat of arms with shield, supporters, and decorative elements, consistent with a British penny used as the host coin. The design is heavily obscured by the elongating process. |
