| Obverse lettering | SIR JOHN POPE / HENNESSY O. ROTY |
| Reverse description | A semi-draped female allegorical figure, personifying Mauritius, is seated in left profile in the lower right, reaching upward with her right arm in a farewell gesture toward a departing tall ship visible in the upper left background. She holds a laurel branch in her left hand. To her left, a large decorative cartouche displays the coat of arms of Mauritius. The engraver's signature 'O. Roty' appears at lower left, and the date inscription is arranged in the right field. The curved dedication legend runs along the upper border. |
