| Obverse description | A large circular central hole dominates the field, with an imperial St. Edward's Crown depicted above the hole at twelve o'clock. The Latin legend GEORGE·VI·KING·EMPEROR curves around the annular field in large incuse letters, reading from the lower right upward and continuing across the left side. A beaded inner border surrounds the central hole, and a milled outer border frames the entire design. The composition is strictly typographic and heraldic, with no portrait — the crown serving as the sole royal symbol. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the issuer name FIJI in bold raised letters arcing across the upper field. The four digits of the date are split by the central hole, with the first two numerals to the left and the last two to the right at mid-field. The denomination PENNY curves in large bold letters across the lower field. A beaded inner ring encircles the central hole, and a milled outer border completes the design. The overall layout is strictly typographic, with no figural devices. |
