| Reverse description | A large Spanish galleon in flames and distress occupies the central field, with masts burning and the hull shown breaking apart, commemorating the defeat of the Spanish Armada. The scene is rendered in bold relief, with the stricken vessel filling most of the design. A circular Latin legend surrounds the device. |
