| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large cursive royal cypher 'GR' (Georgius Rex) in interlaced script, surmounted by a St. Edward's Crown. The date 1796 is divided by the crown at the upper periphery, with '17' to the left and '96' to the right. The entire design is encircled by a wreath of olive branches tied with a ribbon bow at the base. The coin exhibits a finely milled border and a deeply mirrored proof field characteristic of a trial striking. |
