Obverse description Laureate and draped effigy of King George III facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and laurel wreath, the engraver's signature W. WYON incised below the truncation. The circular legend is separated from the central effigy by a raised border of beads, with the date 1817 prominently displayed in the exergue below the portrait. The overall style reflects the refined neoclassical engraving characteristic of William Wyon's early work.

Reverse description Three standing, classically robed female figures personifying the nations of England, Scotland, and Ireland, each bearing their respective national emblems, arranged in a harmonious composition within the field. The legend FOEDUS INVIOLABILE arcs around the upper periphery, with the engraver's signature W. WYON present, and a palm branch and quiver of arrows placed in the lower exergue. The design is executed in the neoclassical style, enclosed within a beaded border, and represents an allegory of the inviolable union of the three kingdoms.
