As far as it has been possible to establish the present watercolour is unique example in Poyntor's oeuvre of him undertaking a commercial commission of this type. In 1893 he designed the border of the Queen's letter to the nation announcing the death of the Duke of Clarence and in 1894 he was a successful competitor in the designs for the new coinage, models for the florin and shilling being accepted.
