In the center is a full length figure of Admiral Vernon with

Distinctions
|
There are just five varieties with a cannon, full-length Vernon and a ship in that
order (there are a lot more with the ship, Vernon and the cannon in that order).
Of these five, three have the baton pointing at the letter "G". One has a baton
pointed at the letter "Y". This is
the only one with a sword pointing at the letter "Y". It is also the smallest
in diameter of the five variations.
