| Obverse description | Conjoined laureate and draped busts of William III and Mary II facing right, with William depicted in front and Mary behind, both rendered in high relief with flowing hair. The numeral '20' appears in the lower field beneath the busts, denoting the denomination. The surrounding legend reads GVLIELMVS ET MARIA DEI GRATIA, separated by pellet stops, running clockwise around the periphery. The coin's milled edge is visible at the rim, and the overall style reflects the baroque portraiture convention employed at the Edinburgh Mint during the joint reign. |
