| Obverse description | Young uncrowned effigy of Queen Victoria facing right, with hair drawn back and gathered in a bun, a characteristic portrait used on early Victorian colonial coinage. The bust is bare-shouldered and truncated at the neck. The surrounding legend reads VICTORIA D:G: BRITANNIAR REG: F: D: in raised Latin letters, distributed evenly around the periphery. The overall style reflects the work associated with William Wyon's young head portrait of Victoria. The field is smooth and the relief is well-defined, consistent with a pattern striking on a thick flan. |
