| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of King George III facing right, engraved by Benedetto Pistrucci in a neoclassical style. The king's hair is rendered in fine flowing locks beneath a wreath of laurel leaves tied at the nape. The legend GEORIII D.G. BRITT.REX F.D. runs peripherally around the effigy, interrupted at the base by the date. A fine inner toothed border frames the entire design. |
