This artistic design is by John Bergdahl and shows King John signing the Magna Carta, flanked by two noblemen. This image is symbolic only, as originally the King would have ‘signed’ it with a wax seal. The Magna Carta, or Great Charter was a peace treaty between the King and rebellious barons and established the then unthinkable notion that all people (except the poor!) were equal and subject to the law.
The edge reads: FOUNDATION OF LIBERTY
