| Reverse description | The field depicts a dramatic scene of the British first-rate ship of the line HMS Royal George capsizing and foundering amid turbulent waves, her masts and rigging still visible as the hull lists and sinks. The circumscribed legend naming the ship and admiral arcs around the upper portion, with the date 1783 in the lower exergue. |
