| Reverse description | The civic arms of the City of Norwich are displayed within a flat-topped heraldic shield occupying the central field: a lion passant or surmounted by a castle triple-towered argent, rendered in low relief consistent with the engraving conventions of seventeenth-century English trade token production. The shield is presented without external supporters or motto, and the surrounding field is plain. The overall composition reflects the municipal heraldic imagery commonly employed on English town farthings of the Interregnum and Restoration periods. |
