| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely plain and unadorned, presenting a flat, featureless field with no design, inscription, or decorative element. The surface shows the characteristic wear and oxidation consistent with the silver-plated tin substrate of this pattern piece, confirming its trial or essai nature. A narrow raised rim defines the edge of the blank reverse. |
