Depicts the logo of the event (a heart dividing two parts one with a baby feet trace and a small heart, the other with a Tudor Crown) interlaced with the first letter from the royal parents (Prince William and Kate Middleton) within a beaded circle, inscription above and date of issue below.

The Tudor Crown, also referred to as the King's Crown or Imperial Crown, is a prominent symbol in the heraldry of the United Kingdom. Although different crown symbols had been used in heraldry for many years, the Tudor Crown design was standardized at the request of Edward VII. It was not meant to depict a real crown but closely resembles Queen Victoria's small diamond crown in shape.
