| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic depiction of the RMS Titanic in the final stages of sinking, shown at a steep bow-down angle with her funnels, davits, and rigging rendered in fine detail against the open field. An iceberg is depicted to the left of the stricken vessel, evoking the cause of the disaster. In the lower portion of the field, two lifeboats crowded with survivors are shown rowing away across the debris-strewn water. The legend TITANIC arcs along the upper periphery, and the date 2010 appears in the right field near the waterline. |
