| Obverse description | Uncrowned bare-headed effigy of King George VI facing left, modelled by Thomas Humphrey Paget, whose initials 'HP' appear below the truncation of the neck. The Latin circumscribed legend GEORGIVS SEXTVS REX runs around the periphery, separated from the portrait by a plain field. The design is rendered in a restrained, neoclassical style with fine detail in the hair and facial features. |
