On one side a portrait of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805) inscribed above 'NELSON', around the portrait 'ENGLAND EXPECTS EVERY MAN TO DO HIS DUTY' below 'Shew me my Country's Foes, the Hero cry'd,/He saw-He fought,-He conquer'd, And he di'd.' On the other side, a representation of a naval action, 'VICTORY' above. There is an inscription opposite the handle, below a naval trophy: 'HORATIO LORD VISCOUNT/NELSON/VICE-ADMIRAL OF THE WHITE./Knight of the Order of the Bath,/Duke of Bronte in Sicily/Grand Cross of the Order of Ferdi/nand and of Merit, and Knight of the imperial Order of/the Crescent', 'Copenhagen', 'Nile', 'Trafalgar'.
