| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, as modelled by Raphael David Maklouf. The portrait, known as the third definitive effigy, presents the Queen with a draped neckline and styled hair pinned beneath the crown. The circular legend 'QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND' runs along the periphery in raised Latin characters. The effigy is rendered in a refined, formal style consistent with Royal Mint standards of the period. |
