| Obverse description | The obverse features the laureate and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, as modelled by Mary Gillick. The Queen's hair is elegantly styled with a laurel wreath, and the portrait is rendered in fine relief against a smooth field. A continuous legend in Latin script encircles the effigy along the periphery, reading '+ QUEEN·ELIZABETH·THE·SECOND', with the engraver's initials 'M.G.' discreetly positioned below the truncation. The design is bordered by a fine dentilated rim. |
