| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted at approximately 77 years of age, bare-headed and uncrowned, wearing a necklace and drop earrings, as sculpted by Susan Taylor. The legend ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA arcs above the portrait within the coin's field, with the engraver's initials appearing at the truncation. The portrait is rendered in a refined, contemporary style befitting a specimen-quality strike. |
