| Obverse description | Laureate and draped young bust of King George II facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed flowing hair and classical Roman-style drapery at the truncation, the work of engraver John Croker. The effigy displays a youthful portrait characteristic of the early coinage of George II's reign. The peripheral legend reads GEORGIVS·II·DEI·GRATIA· in Roman capital letters, divided by the bust. The field is smooth and unadorned, directing full attention to the bold royal portrait. Milled border surrounds the coin's edge. |
