| Reverse description | The flattened and elongated reverse retains the ghost impression of the host coin, a 1998 Queen Elizabeth II one penny piece. The outlined effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is faintly visible in the centre, with the partially legible legend 'ELIZABETH D G REG' and the date '1998' around the periphery, all in mirror-image relief due to the pressing process. A beaded border frames the oval field. |
