| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Queen Victoria facing left, rendered in the Young Head portrait type after William Wyon. The bust shows finely detailed hair swept back and gathered in a chignon, with delicate strands framing the face. The portrait is set within a plain field, surrounded by a fine beaded border. No legend appears on the obverse, consistent with the experimental and scientific nature of this pattern piece. |
