| Obverse description | Left-facing crowned effigy of King George VI occupies the central field, modelled by Percy Metcalfe, depicting the king in a simplified, unadorned style wearing the Imperial State Crown. The portrait is rendered with restrained realism, with fine detail on the arched and cross-pattée crown surmounting the bare-headed bust truncated at the shoulder. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the effigy along the toothed border, reading: + GEORGIVS VI DEI GRA: BRITT. OMN: REX FID: DEF:, abbreviated from the full royal titles. The engraver's initials PM appear discreetly on the truncation of the bust. |
