| Obverse description | Neptune, crown-wearing and holding a trident, stands in high relief upon a marine car drawn by two seahorses, pointing toward a detailed view of Devonport Dockyard with ships in the background. Above, the winged figure of Fame flies to the right, holding an unfurled scroll inscribed 'Devonport'; a small portrait medallion, likely of George IV, is affixed to the front of the car. The legend PORTUS ET ARA TUIS arcs around the upper field, with the maker signatures R. ELLIS DEL. and HALLIDAY F. in the lower exergue. |
