| Obverse description | Fourth crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, as modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The legend ELIZABETH·II·DEI·GRA·REGINA·FID·DEF encircles the portrait along the periphery, with the engraver's initials IRB incused below the truncation. The effigy is rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and facial features, characteristic of the Rank-Broadley portrait introduced in 1998. |
