| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King George VI facing left, wearing the St. Edward's Crown, modelled in the small head portrait by Percy Metcalfe. The king's truncated bust is rendered in fine relief against a smooth field, with the engraver's initials 'PM' visible below the truncation. The peripheral legend reads '· GEORGE VI KING AND EMPEROR OF INDIA' in raised Latin capitals, distributed around the full circumference. The coin is framed by a fine toothed border. |

| Reverse description | The arms of Jamaica are displayed centrally, featuring a quartered shield bearing five golden pineapples arranged on a cross, surmounted by a crocodile passant atop a royal helm as crest. Two indigenous Taino figures serve as supporters on either side of the shield, and a scroll below bears the motto 'INDUS UTERQUE SERVIET UNI'. The date '1937' is divided by the shield, flanked left and right in the field, while the peripheral legend 'JAMAICA' appears at the top and 'FARTHING' at the bottom, all within a toothed border. |
