| Obverse description | Right-facing fourth-portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted as a mature draped bust with a diadem in her hair, rendered in high relief after the design by Ian Rank-Broadley. The legend SOUTH GEORGIA & SOUTH SANDWICH ISLANDS arcs around the upper periphery, with the date 2006 positioned to the right. The engraver's initials IRB appear truncated at the base of the bust. The portrait is set against a deeply mirrored field consistent with a proof-finish strike. |
