| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King George III facing right, engraved by Conrad Heinrich Küchler in the neoclassical style characteristic of the Soho Mint. The king's hair falls in long curls to the shoulder, bound with a ribbon, and is adorned with a laurel wreath. A fine toothed border encircles the coin's rim. The legend GEORGIVS III · D · G · REX · arcs around the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. The engraver's signature appears incuse at the base of the truncation. |

| Reverse description | A fully rigged three-masted sailing ship, consistent with a late 18th-century man-of-war or merchantman, is depicted sailing to the right on stylized waves, with all sails billowing. Rocky outcroppings or land are faintly suggested in the right background, evoking the Bermudian coastline. The legend BERMUDA arcs across the upper field in bold raised Latin lettering, while the date 1793 appears in the lower exergual area beneath the vessel. A toothed border encircles the design. The composition is rendered in high relief, typical of Soho Mint proof strikings. |
