| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King George III facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curling hair tied with a ribbon at the nape. The king wears a laurel wreath secured by a band, with individual leaves clearly articulated in the neoclassical style characteristic of late 18th-century British colonial coinage. The circumferential Latin legend reads GEORGIUS III . D . G . REX ., interrupted at the truncation, and the whole design is enclosed within a fine beaded border. |
