"George IV stands full-face on a cloud above the Pavilion; his legs wide apart; under his right foot is the word 'Decency'; by the left, 'Decorum'. An irradiated crescent moon inscribed 'Carolina' covers his face between mouth and forehead, its horns pointing upwards, above the apex of his curled wig. In his right hand is a large Green Bag (see No. 13735, &c.) inscribed 'Slander'. In the left he holds up a bottle of 'Noyau'. Across the base of the design stretches the east front of the Pavilion (see Summerson, 'John Nash', 1935, plate x) with the word 'Brighton'. This is backed by the sea, with ships; the horizon is just below the King's cloud, which curves upwards, framing the design."--British Museum online catalogue
