| Obverse description | Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, accompanied by a depiction of Anteros modelled after the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain at Piccadilly Circus, London, the figure also known as the Angel of Christian Charity. The sovereign's portrait is rendered in the standard right-facing bust used on Commonwealth coinage of the period. The surrounding legend identifies the issuer, denomination, and date, with the mint mark 'mw' denoting the Mint of Poland. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylised Art Nouveau-inspired composition depicting the facing busts of Romeo and Juliet in close proximity, their profiles nearly touching at centre as if on the verge of an embrace. Romeo appears at left with flowing curly hair, while Juliet at right wears an ornate headdress with decorative scrollwork. A hand is shown tenderly reaching toward Romeo's neck, and the lower field is filled with elaborate foliate and acanthus-scroll ornamentation in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The design conveys romantic tension and poetic drama through its fluid, sculptural line work. |
