| Obverse description | Left-facing crowned and draped bust of Queen Victoria, wearing an ornate imperial crown adorned with floral and geometric motifs, with a sceptre visible rising behind the crown. The Queen's hair is elaborately styled in braided coils, and her truncation features richly engraved foliate scrollwork typical of the 1862 Indian coinage portrait. The circular legend VICTORIA QUEEN runs around the periphery, divided left and right of the effigy, with a fine beaded border encircling the entire design. |
