| Obverse description | The second definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, rendered in high relief after the model by Arnold Machin. The Queen is depicted wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, with the neck truncation bare. The legend ELIZABETH II D·G·REG·F·D· arcs around the periphery in Latin script. The portrait is executed in a classical, naturalistic style characteristic of Machin's Royal Mint work from 1968 onward. |
