The reverse plain except for the maker's script identification engraved on the central medallion: Hunt & Roskell / Late / Storr, Mortimer & Hunt / 156 New Bond Street / London. Additionally, lightly inscribed on the reverse of the eighth star point is the number 5200. Similarly the apparently gold hinged tunic pin is engraved 5200 / UE / UE / - on its underside.
