| Obverse description | Crudely executed, unadorned bust of George III facing right, occupying the majority of the field, without legend or inscription. The effigy displays rudimentary facial features and minimal drapery detail, characteristic of the rough artisanal workmanship associated with emergency counterfeits or imitative pieces of the period. A plain inner circle border surrounds the portrait, with a similarly plain outer rim. |

| Reverse description | Crude seated figure of Britannia facing right, depicted with a long spear held vertically in her right hand and a spray of leaves in the left, resting upon a raised platform or plinth. The execution is extremely rough and schematic, with angular, deeply cut lines rendering the figure in a primitive style. A circular border surrounds the design, with remnants of a crudely incised peripheral legend, largely illegible due to the coarse workmanship of this emergency imitative issue. |
