Aversbeschreibung	Crowned and draped effigy of King George V facing left, engraved by Bertram Mackennal, wearing the Imperial State Crown and military uniform with decorations visible at the shoulder. A fine beaded inner border frames the design, with the Latin legend arcing around the periphery reading GEORGIVS V REX ET IND: IMP:, abbreviating his titles as King and Emperor of India. The initials B.M. appear below the truncation, identifying the engraver. The overall portrait is rendered in high relief with careful attention to the King's facial features, beard, and the ornate detailing of the crown.

Reversbeschreibung	Central oval cartouche, flanked by decorative foliate scrollwork and two small diamond-shaped ornaments, enclosing a lion passant walking left before a mountainous landscape with Mount Kenya visible in the background and sparse savanna vegetation in the foreground. The legend EAST AFRICA arcs across the upper periphery outside the cartouche, while the denomination 1 SHILLING and the date appear in the lower field, the numeral 1 above the word SHILLING and the four-digit date below, all separated from the central device by a beaded inner border. The composition evokes the colonial iconography of British East Africa, blending imperial heraldic tradition with an African natural setting.
