| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting her mature right-facing portrait wearing the George IV State Diadem, rendered with exceptional sculptural depth befitting the large format of this one-kilogram proof strike. The legend ELIZABETH·II D·G·REG·F·D arcs along the left and upper periphery, while the denomination 1000 POUNDS is inscribed vertically along the right field. The engraver's initials IRB appear beneath the truncation of the neck. The mirrored proof fields contrast sharply with the finely frosted relief of the portrait, accentuating the grandeur of this prestige issue. |
