| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King George I facing right, rendered in bold relief with finely detailed curling hair and laurel wreath. The portrait is of a classical style typical of early 18th-century British colonial coinage, attributed to the workshop of William Wood. A beaded inner border encircles the effigy, with the circular Latin legend surrounding the bust in the field. The overall execution reflects the characteristic style of Wood's Rosa Americana series. |
