| Obverse description | Laureate and draped left-facing bust of George IV occupies the central field, rendered in a classical portrait style typical of early nineteenth-century British colonial coinage. A wreath encircles the sovereign's head. The circular legend reads PROVINCE OF NOVA - SCOTIA, with a hyphen separating NOVA and SCOTIA, a diagnostic feature of this variety. The entire design is contained within a beaded border. |
