| Obverse description | Left-facing crowned effigy of King George VI, wearing the Imperial State Crown, engraved in high relief at center. The portrait, modelled by Percy Metcalfe, shows the king in a bare-shouldered truncation with fine detail on the crown's arches, crosses, and jewelled band. The engraver's initials 'PM' appear discreetly below the truncation. The Latin legend GEORGIVS VI REX IMPERATOR curves along the upper and right periphery, following the scalloped contour of the flan. |
