| Obverse description | Fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, depicting a mature crowned bust wearing the George IV State Diadem, as designed by Jody Clark. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail on the diadem's pearls and gemstones. The sovereign's name and royal titles appear as a continuous legend encircling the effigy in the field, with the engraver's initials 'J.C' positioned discreetly below the truncation of the bust. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears Benedetto Pistrucci's iconic neoclassical design of Saint George on horseback facing right, slaying the dragon with a broken sword, a motif used continuously on British sovereigns since 1817. The horse and rider are depicted in dynamic motion, with the dragon coiled beneath the horse's hooves. The date of issue and Pistrucci's engraver's initials 'B.P.' appear in the exergue below the ground line, separated from the central device by a thin ruled border. |
