| Obverse description | Left-facing crowned effigy of King George V, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the crown, beard, and military dress. The king wears an imperial state crown, with the truncation of the bust visible at the lower field. The legend GEORGE V KING EMPEROR is distributed around the periphery, flanking the portrait, with a beaded border encircling the entire design. The engraving, by Percy Metcalfe, displays a refined academic style characteristic of British Commonwealth coinage of the interwar period. |
