| Obverse description | Laureate effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, after the model by Mary Gillick, with the Queen depicted with a wreath of laurel in her hair and a light drapery at the shoulder. The portrait is rendered in a refined, classical style characteristic of the first Elizabethan coinage. The legend encircles the bust, incorporating the title 'BRITT:OMN' denoting Queen of all the Britains, a formula retained only for the 1953 issue before being dropped in subsequent years. |
