| Reverse description | The field depicts a detailed relief map of northwestern Europe showing the British Isles, the North Sea coastline, and the Low Countries, with cities labelled including LONDEN, HANOVER, PARIS, BRVSSEEL, and others. The Hanoverian white horse rears dramatically over the map, leaping westward from the Continent toward Britain, symbolising George I's accession. The circular Latin legend occupies the upper border, while a second Latin motto is inscribed within a rectangular exergue at the base. |
