Reverse description A full-length wedding portrait of Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon and the Duke of York standing together on a raised dais occupies the centre of the field; the bride wears a long gown with an elaborate trailing train and veil, while the groom is depicted in formal military dress holding a bouquet. The commemorative date 1923, marking the year of the royal wedding, appears in the lower field beneath the figures, with the denomination TEN RUPEES inscribed along the lower periphery. A beaded inner circle frames the central design, with the curved legends QUEEN ELIZABETH THE QUEEN MOTHER arcing along the upper portion and WEDDING : LADY ELIZABETH BOWES-LYON : THE DUKE OF YORK completing the circular inscription.
