The sovereign is shown in full ceremonial regalia astride a uniformly stepping horse, continuing the iconographic tradition established at the time of Her Majesty's coronation in 1953. The reverse legend arcs along the upper and lower periphery of the coin, incorporating the denomination and abbreviated royal titles. The initials MJG appear in the field as the engraver's mark. |
