| Reverse description | The field is divided into four quadrant panels, each depicting London Bridge as it appeared during a different historical era, radiating from a central oval cartouche encircled by a laurel wreath bearing the legend 'A Span of History'. The four scenes correspond to the Roman, medieval, early modern, and 19th-century periods of the bridge's history. Historical names and dates are inscribed along the outer border between the quadrants, with a quotation and copyright notice in the lower field. |
