| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of George III facing right, with long flowing curled hair tied with a ribbon, engraved in high relief in the style characteristic of J.S. Tanner. The king is portrayed in a classical manner with a bold, finely detailed profile. The peripheral legend reads GEORGIVS · III · DEI · GRA · in Roman capitals, separated by raised dots, running from lower left to lower right. The field is smooth and deeply mirrored, as befitting a pattern strike of exceptional quality. The rim is bound by a precisely tooled inner ring of raised beads. |
