| Obverse description | Laureate and draped left-facing bust of George IV, engraved by William Wyon in a refined neoclassical style, with curling hair bound by a laurel wreath tied with a ribbon at the nape. The date appears in the lower field below the truncation, flanked by two small pellets. The peripheral legend reads GEORGIUS IV DEI GRATIA, disposed around the upper arc, with the milled border encircling the entire design. |

| Reverse description | Seated figure of Britannia facing left, helmeted and draped in classical robes, positioned on a rocky ground line above an exergual area bearing a decorative arrangement of national emblems — a rose, thistle, and shamrock. Britannia rests her left hand on a shield bearing the Union Jack, while her right hand raises a trident. The circumferential Latin legend BRITANNIAR: REX FID: DEF: runs around the periphery, and the whole design is contained within a toothed milled border. |
