| Obverse description | The obverse features the first and youthful laureate effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, as modelled by Mary Gillick, her hair arranged in a chignon and adorned with a laurel wreath. The truncation of the bare-shouldered bust is plain and unadorned. The circular legend reads ELIZABETH II REGINA around the upper periphery, while the lower field is open. A finely beaded border frames the entire design. |
