| Reverse description | A highly detailed, shaped relief depiction of the State Crown (Imperial State Crown) rendered in the form of the coin itself, with the crown's silhouette defining the coin's contour. The crown features a purple velvet cap with ermine base, richly adorned with colorfully inset gemstones including a prominent central red stone (representing the Black Prince's Ruby), flanked by emerald-cut green stones, blue stones, and a large central table-cut white stone along the lower band. Intricate silver filigree, pearl beading, and foliate metalwork surround the jewels, while the arched top is surmounted by a monde and a cross pattée set with a blue sapphire. The piece incorporates selective color application to enhance the realism of the velvet and precious stones. |
