Obverse Design
|
Legend begins with the word "THE".
In the center is a full length figure of Admiral Vernon with
his body turned to our left (facing left).
Vernon is holding a baton in his hand which points at the letter "Y".
To our left of Admiral Vernon is a canon. To our right of the Admiral is a ship.

Reverse Design
|
The reverse shows the attack on Porto Bello. The legend begins with the word "WHO".
A staff points to the first "L" and a spire to the "W".
|
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". This is
the only one with the baton pointing at the letter "Y".
