| Obverse description | Fourth draped bust of Queen Anne facing left, engraved by John Croker, depicting the monarch with elaborately curled hair dressed with a ribbon bow at the nape, and a lace-trimmed décolletage with a beaded necklace clasp visible at the truncation. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine detail in the hair and drapery. The Latin legend ANNA·DEI·GRATIA· ('Anne by the Grace of God') runs clockwise around the periphery, interrupted by the bust. The coin presents a milled edge visible at the rim, consistent with early 18th-century Royal Mint production. |

Sceptres fill the angles between the shields, and the divided date appears in the upper field flanking the crown.
