| Obverse description | Conjoined laureate and cuirassed busts of King William III and Queen Mary II facing right, rendered in high relief in the style of late Stuart portraiture. The effigies are shown with William positioned in front, both sovereigns depicted in Roman imperial armour with drapery at the shoulder. The peripheral legend encircles the busts within the coin's field. |

| Reverse description | An allegorical seated figure of Britannia faces left, her right hand raised and holding an olive branch symbolic of peace, her left hand grasping a spear upright. A large shield bearing the Union flag rests at her left side. The design is enclosed by a peripheral Latin legend, with the composition set within an unadorned field characteristic of late 17th-century English coinage. |
