Obverse. King George I seated under a canopy bearing seven escallops: 1, 4 and 6, having a rose and thistle rising from the same stem; 2 and 5, an harp; 3 and 7, a fleur-de-lis; above, supported by two angels, heads reverted outwards, each blowing a trumpet, a circular shield, ensigned by a royal crown, and encircled with the Garter and its motto: 1. ENGLAND impaling SCOTLAND; 2. FRANCE; 3.. IRELAND; 4. Two lions passant guardant in pale, BRUNSWICK, impaling semy of hearts, a lion rampant, LUNEBURGH; on a point, in point, a horse courant, SAXONY, an escutcheon (not clear on this impression), the crown of Charlemagne, for the ARCH-TREASURERSHIP OF THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE. (These arms reflect the accession of the house of Hanover, and the monarch’s German principalities, whilst his German titles appear on the reverse). On the king’s left stands an allegorical figure respenting JUSTICE, with sword and balanced scales; beyond is a unicorn sejant guardant gorged with a coronet of crosses paty and fleurs-de-lis, and holding a flag of the Union, the combined crosses of St Andrew and St George; on the monarch’s right appears an allegorical figure of MERCY holding a spear, and an oval shield: ENGLAND impaling SCOTLAND; beyond a lion sejant bearing a flag of the royal arms, as described above. The monarch is crowned, and wears an ermine cloak and tippet with the collar of St George; his left hand holds an orb surmounted by a cross, his right hand a sceptre; his feet rest on a tasselled cushion. Decorative beaded border. Roses or cinquefoils form the stops of the legend.
