| Reverse description | A finely engraved left-facing bust of an Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica) occupies the central field, depicted with detailed feather texture on the head and breast. The legend LUNDY arcs across the upper field, while HALF PUFFIN curves along the lower field, together encircling the bird's portrait. The design is contained within a beaded border consistent with the obverse, and the overall composition reflects the competent engraving style of G. Kruger Gray. |
