| Reverse description | A finely detailed allegorical scene depicting a quadriga — a car drawn by four horses — in which the King is seated, approached by a kneeling female figure representing Londinia who presents the city keys. The scene is set before the facade of the Royal Exchange, with crowds of spectators lining the balustrades above. The upper legend arcs around the scene, while the date and lower inscription appear in the exergue below a horizontal line. |
