| Obverse description | Youthful laureate effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, modelled by Mary Gillick, with the Queen's hair bound with a laurel wreath and her shoulders lightly draped. The legend encircles the bust, reading 'ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA BRITT:OMN:REGINA', incorporating the 'BRITT:OMN' (Omnium Britanniarum) title characteristic of the first coinage portrait of the reign. The portrait is rendered in a refined, classical style with fine detail in the hair and facial features. |
