| Reverse description | A detailed low-relief view of the Crystal Palace, Joseph Paxton's celebrated iron-and-glass structure, occupies the upper half of the field, flanked by trees and set against a sky with billowing clouds in relief. Below, the inscriptions 'CRYSTAL PALACE', '1851', and 'THE GREAT EXHIBITION' are arranged in the lower field and along the bottom border, with the engraver's signature 'P. VINCZE' at the very base. |
