| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of George III facing right, rendered in mid-relief within a plain field. The peripheral legend GENUINE BRITISH COPPER arcs around the upper portion of the coin, while the date 1815 appears in the lower exergue area beneath the portrait. The design is contained within a beaded inner border, typical of the period's colonial copper coinage. |
