Positioned directly over the national inscription is an intricately detailed St. Edward’s Queen's Crown, which rests cleanly atop a traditional vertical navy anchor. The entire circular face is securely bordered by a heavily detailed, continuous twisted rope edge pattern. The reverse side features a sturdy, integrated wire loop shank accompanied by a crisply stamped manufacturer hallmark reading Gaunt, London.
