This topic is for designs that show ships or boats sailing in the background - that is, where they are NOT the main subject of the design. How many such designs can you find?

UK pattern penny 1937.  From the Royal Mint Museum.  Design by Charles Walter Coombes.


The ship disappeared from the UK penny and half penny after the 1880s.

The piece above was a trial only.

The ship is a front view of a first world war Revenge class battleship (the elaborate crow's nest gives them away.)

In 1937, more modern ships were available or under construction, so the design may be pre-dated.
