| Obverse description | Bare-headed left-facing effigy of King George V, modelled by Edgar Bertram MacKennal, rendered with fine detail in the king's short hair, neatly trimmed beard and moustache. The truncation of the neck terminates cleanly at the lower field. A continuous Latin legend encircles the effigy close to the milled border, reading GEORGIVS V D.G. BRITT:OMN:REX F.D.IND:IMP:, with stops separating each abbreviation. The portrait is naturalistic and unadorned, reflecting the academic realist style favoured for British coinage of the Edwardian and early Georgian periods. |

| Reverse description | Four cruciform crowned shields bearing the arms of England (twice), Scotland, and Ireland are arranged symmetrically around a central Garter star, the whole forming a cross pattern. In the angles between the shields appear sceptres topped with the national emblems of the United Kingdom. The denomination ONE FLORIN appears in the upper field, while the date is divided across the lower field on either side of the central design. The composition is tightly organised within a beaded inner border, with a milled outer rim framing the entire reverse. |
