Reverse description The reverse depicts a ceremonial greeting scene in which a robed female figure personifying Scotland, flanked by two Scottish figures in Highland dress — one bearing a shield and the other raising his bonnet — presents her hand to a laurelled male figure representing the King, who holds a staff with the Scottish lion rampant banner. A landscape background features Edinburgh Castle to the left and mountains to the right. A four-line commemorative legend with the date appears in the exergue.
