| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King George III facing right, rendered in fine relief with elaborately curled hair and a detailed draped and armoured truncation. The effigy is positioned centrally within the field, with the surrounding legend reading GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA arranged around the periphery. The coin's milled edge is visible, and the overall style reflects the engraving tradition of the late eighteenth-century Royal Mint. |

| Reverse description | The central device features the crowned numeral '1' denoting the penny denomination, executed in the characteristically slender 'thin' or 'wire' style that defines this issue, with the date 1792 flanking or adjacent to it. The surrounding legend, arranged along the coin's periphery, reads MAG·BRI·FR·ET·HIB·REX, identifying the king as ruler of Great Britain, France, and Ireland. The overall design is spare and refined, consistent with the Maundy and small silver coinage of the period. |
