The Queen is depicted wearing the George IV State Diadem, with a lace collar visible at the truncation. The royal legend encircles the effigy, with the denomination incorporated into the inscription. The designer's initials J.C. appear at the lower right of the portrait truncation. The refined detail of the proof finish enhances the sculptural quality of the likeness.

The shield displays the quartered arms of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The legend LION OF ENGLAND arcs above the principal device, while the date 2022 appears in the lower field beneath the lion. The engraver's initials DL are incorporated discreetly into the design. The overall composition is bold and heraldic in character, befitting the Royal Beasts series.
