| Obverse description | Uncrowned, bare-headed effigy of King Edward VII facing right, with a short beard and moustache, rendered in high relief after the portrait by engraver George William de Saulles. The truncation of the bust is clean, with the engraver's initials 'DE S.' appearing at the base. The circular legend reads EDWARD VII KING AND EMPEROR, disposed around the upper and lower periphery, separated by the bust. The field is smooth and unadorned, and the design is enclosed by a fine inner border of beads. |
