Seal impression: Royal

Obverse. Queen Anne seated, crowned (her robes indistinct on this impression), as are the orb and especially the sceptre. Her feet rest on a tasselled cushion, above is a circular-headed canopy, upon which two angels sounding trumpets support an oval coat of indistinct arms (on better impressions these are seen to be those as used by James II, but without the Nassau inescutcheon) ensigned by a royal crown. To either side of the lower part of the throne are, dext. a lion sejant reguardant crowned, holding with its right paw an oval shield bearing the cross of St George; sin. an unicorn sejant reguardant crowned, supporting with its left paw an oval shield bearing the cross of St Andrew. Above them, by the columns of the throne, are, dext. a figure of Piety, holding a model of a church; sin. a figure of Justice holding (on good impressions) a pair of scales in the right hand, a bundle of Roman fasces with the left. A very small rose or cinquefoil forms the stops of the legend.
