| Reverse description | A crowned lion passant gardant rests its forepaw upon the Royal Arms shield at centre, flanked by the floral emblems of the United Kingdom — rose, shamrock, and thistle — issuing from branches above. Below the shield, a cartouche bears the coronation inscription in Gothic lettering, beneath which waves and sailing ships evoke the extent of the British Empire. Two diagonal ribbon banners on either side of the composition carry excerpts from Lord Byron's poem 'The Corsair'. |
