| Reverse description | A dramatic scene depicting a sailing vessel foundering and sinking in turbulent seas, with masts and rigging collapsing, waves breaking around the hull, and seabirds in the background. The legend COFFIN SHIP appears in the exergue below a horizontal line, referencing the dangerously unseaworthy overloaded ships that Plimsoll campaigned against. A small suspension hole is visible at the top rim. |
