| Description |
English: Design in an oval. Thirteen heads arranged in four rows, the first, second, and fourth having three heads, the third four. In the uppermost row the Prince of Wales (left) and the King (right) face each other in profile; the likeness between them is stressed. Between and slightly above them is Queen Charlotte, in profile to the left, her hair inscribed 'Queen of hearts', cf. BMSat 6978. In the next row Fox, full-face, is the central head of the design; Mrs. Fitzherbert (left) (unrecognizable) wears a low crown inscribed 'Queen would be', and the feathers of the Prince of Wales; George Hanger, in profile to the left, wears the large cocked hat made familiar by BMSat 6924, &c. The next four heads are (left to right): Mrs. Siddons, wearing a low crown inscribed 'Queen Rant', looking wildly over her shoulder to the right; Burke, wearing spectacles and a cap or turban, his back turned to Pitt who is in profile to the right; on the left in profile to the right is the Duchess of Devonshire, wearing a low crown and a collar which are inscribed 'Queen of Fox'. In the lowest row the central figure is the broad back of North wearing his ribbon; on the left is Mrs. Abington, a ribbon in her much-curled hair inscribed 'Queen Scrub' (see BMSat 7053); on the right, in profile to the left, is the Duke of Richmond. 26 March 1786

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
