| Obverse description | Central design features a St. Edward's Crown rendered in high relief, positioned at the centre of the field, surmounted by a single orb finial. The crown is enclosed within a decorative inner border composed of continuous beading flanked by a wavy or vermicular ornamental band, giving the coin its characteristic 'beaded' designation. The outer legend reads GOVERNMENT ASSAY OFFICE arching around the upper periphery and ADELAIDE along the lower periphery, with the date 1852 inscribed in the lower field beneath the crown. Small floral rosette stops punctuate the legend at the lower left and right. The overall design is utilitarian yet authoritative, reflecting the emergency coinage character of this historically significant issue. |
