| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King George VI facing left, modelled by Thomas Humphrey Paget, occupying the central field. The portrait depicts the king in a restrained, unadorned style characteristic of Paget's work for the post-war Commonwealth coinage. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the effigy along the rim, interrupted at the base by the truncation of the bust. The coin is bordered by a fine toothed or beaded inner rim running the full circumference. |
