| Reverse description | A mourning female figure, personifying Hibernia, kneels to the right before an ornate tomb surmounted by a cross, with shamrock sprigs in the background. A broken harp lies at her feet, symbolising grief. An inscription on the tomb face records O'Connell's birth and death dates, while the exergue bears the words CATHOLIC EMANCIPATION and REPEAL, commemorating his two great political causes. |
