The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detailing to the crown's jewels and the Queen's features. The sovereign's title and denomination legend encircle the effigy, with the designer's initials J.C. incorporated at the truncation.

| Reverse description | Three classically draped female allegorical figures are depicted in high relief, representing Britannia, Hibernia, and Scotia, the personifications of England, Ireland, and Scotland respectively. The composition draws directly from William Wyon's celebrated original design used on the 1817 silver crown pattern, here reinterpreted at exceptional scale. The three figures stand in graceful contrapposto, each bearing her national emblems, united in symbolic harmony. The Latin motto FOEDUS INVIOLABILE, meaning 'Inviolable League,' arcs above the group, emphasizing the theme of union. The overall composition is set within a deeply struck, polished proof field that enhances the sculptural quality of the design. |
