| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, rendered in high relief after the third definitive portrait by Raphael David Maklouf. The sovereign's bust is draped, with the legend arcing around the periphery and the date appearing below the effigy in the lower field. The initials RDM appear as the engraver's signature beneath the portrait. |

| Reverse description | Dynamic high-relief depiction of Saint George standing in full armour, viewed from behind, confronting a large rearing dragon that dominates the upper and left portions of the field. The armoured saint holds a drawn sword at his side and bears a round shield, facing the menacing creature whose expansive wings and scaled body fill the composition with dramatic tension. The mint mark or engraver's initial 'R' appears to the right of the central design in the mid-field. The scene is rendered in a contemporary sculptural style with exceptional three-dimensional depth, departing from the traditional equestrian Pistrucci composition. |
