Obverse description Uncrowned, bare-headed effigy of King George V facing left, modelled by Edgar Bertram MacKennal, with fine detail rendered in the beard, hair, and collar. The portrait is set within a broad, smooth field bordered by a beaded inner circle and a reeded rim. The Latin legend encircles the effigy, reading from the lower left upward and around the upper portion of the coin. The engraver's initials B.M. appear truncated below the portrait.
