| Obverse description | A caricature profile bust of a figure wearing a hat inscribed 'POSSESSION', its distended mouth open wide to swallow a globe depicting the map of Britain, symbolising the hoarding monopolizer. A circular legend surrounds the design in the field, with the date 1800 in the lower exergue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a gloved hand in high relief dispensing coins or grapes to two open receiving hands below, with a radiant Eye of Providence at the top of the field emitting sunbeams, and a third outstretched hand to the right. A banner legend curves around the lower portion of the field, and the words 'WELL DONE' appear within the rays beneath the eye. |
