A spray of olive branches appears in the lower right field. The peripheral legend reads PRUEBA · TRIAL · PROBE · ESSAI in four languages, denoting trial or specimen status, with GREAT BRITAIN along the lower arc and the date 2003 to the right. Stars punctuate the legend at intervals, and a small mintmaster's mark appears near the date. |

| Reverse description | A crowned male equestrian figure rides to the half-left at center, in a style referencing historical European heraldic coinage. Six diagonal bars divide the field, each terminating in a star at either end. An oval cartouche superimposed over a large capital letter displays the denomination below, with the word SPECIMEN inscribed across the design to confirm its trial piece status. The overall composition draws on traditional European heraldic and numismatic conventions associated with euro coinage pattern designs. |
