| Obverse description | Crowned and robed right-facing effigy of King George V, engraved by Bertram Mackennal, wearing the Imperial State Crown and elaborate regalia with a decorative collar visible at the truncation. The legend GEORGIVS V D. G. BRITT: OMN: REX F. D. IND: IMP: runs around the periphery in Latin script. The word SPECIMEN appears in the left field, identifying this as a trial or pattern strike. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail in the crown jewels and facial features, set against a flat, unadorned field. |
