| Obverse description | The central round hole is positioned at the centre of the coin, surmounted by a Tudor crown rendered in fine relief. Flanking the hole on either side are two ornate decorative scrollwork elements that curl gracefully around the perforation. The denomination FIVE CENTS is inscribed in two lines below the central hole in bold raised lettering. The circular legend GEORGIUS SEXTUS REX runs around the periphery, divided left and right by the crown at the top. A fine beaded border frames the entire obverse field. |
