| Obverse description | The fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, sculpted by Ago Aarand after the portrait by Dora de Pédery-Hunt, depicting the monarch in right-facing profile at approximately 64 years of age. The bust is draped and adorned with the Royal Diadem, a necklace, and drop earrings. The legend ELIZABETH II D·G·REGINA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 25 CENTS is positioned along the lower field. The portrait conveys a refined, mature likeness in the tradition of regal numismatic portraiture. |
