| Obverse description | The Arnold Machin effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is depicted as a right-facing draped bust, wearing a tiara and with her hair styled in soft curls. The circumferential legend reads ELIZABETH II to the upper left and D·G·REGINA to the upper right, with the date 1976 positioned in the lower exergue. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a mirrored proof field, characteristic of the Machin second effigy used on Commonwealth commemorative issues of this era. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the national flags of the United Kingdom and the United States displayed prominently above two facing portrait cameos of King George III and George Washington, commemorating the bicentennial of American independence. The denomination and issuing territory appear in the lower field, with the full commemorative inscription encircling the design. The composition is arranged symmetrically, with the two historical figures juxtaposed as symbolic representatives of the colonial and revolutionary relationship between Britain and America. |
