| Reverse description | A large St. Edward's Crown occupies the central field, depicted in fine relief with cross pattée at summit, fleurs-de-lis, and pearled arches, surmounted by the date 1936 in Arabic numerals. The crown is encircled by a decorative wreath composed of the floral emblems of the United Kingdom — the English Tudor rose, Scottish thistle, Welsh leek, and Irish shamrock — rendered with great botanical detail. The peripheral legend, interrupted by lozenge-shaped stops, reads .FID. .DEF. .IND. .IMP. above and .EDW. VIII. below, abbreviating the royal titles Fidei Defensor, Indiae Imperator. The word TRIAL appears within the legend, confirming the piece's status as an official pattern or trial striking. The engraver's name TRIAL is inscribed in small letters at the lower centre of the wreath field. |
