| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by four territorial coats of arms arranged in the corners — Leeward Islands (upper left), Barbados (upper centre), Windward Islands (upper right), British Guiana (lower left), and Trinidad & Tobago (lower right) — each enclosed within guilloche-bordered panels.
