| Obverse description | A Tudor crown is positioned above the central circular hole, which is surrounded by a raised collar. The denomination legend in English reads ONE HALFPENNY and arcs around the upper portion of the hole, while the Arabic equivalent نُصْف پَنّي appears beneath. The sovereign's title GEORGIVS VI REX ET IND: IMP: is inscribed in Latin along the outer legend, with mint marks flanking the inscriptions. The design is devoid of a royal portrait, relying entirely on symbolic and typographic elements arranged concentrically around the central perforation. |
