| Obverse description | Left-facing crowned effigy of King George VI, modeled by Percy Metcalfe, whose initials P.M. appear in relief below the truncation. The peripheral legend encircles the bust within a circular border, rendered in clean Roman capitals characteristic of British colonial coinage of the period. |
