| Obverse description | Right-facing laureate effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modelled by Mary Gillick, with hair swept up and tied with a ribbon, a laurel sprig visible above the brow. The truncated bust is unadorned, rendered in a naturalistic style characteristic of the Gillick portrait used on Commonwealth coinage of the early Elizabethan era. A continuous Latin legend encircles the effigy, interrupted by a small cross at the left, with the engraver's initials M.G. placed discreetly at the lower right of the bust. The entire design is bounded by a fine beaded border. |
