| Obverse description | The obverse features a centrally placed round hole encircled by two ornate scrolling flourishes arranged symmetrically in the field. Above the hole, a Tudor crown is prominently displayed, while the denomination ONE PENNY arcs across the centre in bold raised letters. The circumferential Latin legend GEORGIVS SEXTVS REX runs along the upper periphery, and bilingual Arabic-script inscriptions reading واحد پني (one penny) appear in the lower field below the hole, reflecting the multilingual character of the currency. The entire design is contained within a finely beaded border. |
