On the face side the top image is of a lovely Japanese women maybe a Geisha, below is a ship's Anchor draping a British Flag hanging above a naval canon. At center is a large heart being tugged by a man and woman's hands from each side with the words "True Love" below. Next is a Swann, then a Sailing Ship at sea, and finally a large Sea horse sits above the date "1871". A short text on the opposite side that is within engraved rope, reads, in full: "From wars, shoals and storms afar, / God preserve the Bold British Tar."
