| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ago Aarand after the Dora de Pédery-Hunt portrait, depicting the Queen in right-facing profile wearing a diadem and pearl earring. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left rim, while D·G·REGINA curves along the upper right, all rendered in raised Latin lettering. The denomination 25 CENTS appears in the lower field beneath the portrait. The design is set within a beaded border, and the mirror-like proof fields enhance the sculptural relief of the effigy. |
