| Obverse description | A caricature of Britannia depicted as a bearded figure wearing a plumed admiral's helmet, standing in the sea and fishing with a rod from which a seagull (Möwe) flies away carrying a fish. In the background, ships and a shield bearing the Union Jack are visible in low relief. The legend arcs along the upper rim. |

| Reverse description | A five-line inscription in the upper field, surmounted by a date in decorative lettering. Two confronted fish in high relief occupy the lower half of the field, with an additional inscription along the lower rim. The overall composition satirises British financial reliance on war bonds. |
