| Obverse description | The field is dominated by a central hexagonal frame with rays emanating from each corner, creating six divisions. Within the central hexagon, the legend records the passing of the Municipal Reform Bill on 9 September 1835, supported by R. Hon. E. Ellice and W. Williams, Members for the City. Each of the six surrounding divisions contains the ward name and the names of the elected councillors for the six wards of Coventry, with the legend 'COUNCIL-MEN' appearing at the top of the field. |
