| Obverse description | Left-facing crowned effigy of King George VI, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the crown and facial features. The truncation of the bust is cleanly cut, with the engraver's initials 'PM' (Percy Metcalfe) discreetly placed below the portrait. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery of the coin, separated from the effigy by a clear field. The overall style reflects the restrained, formal portraiture characteristic of British Commonwealth coinage of the late 1930s. |
