| Obverse description | Right-facing laureate effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modelled by Mary Gillick, depicted with a wreath of laurel leaves secured in the hair and a bare truncation. The portrait is rendered in low relief with fine detail in the hair and facial features characteristic of Gillick's style. A continuous beaded border frames the design, with the circular legend reading ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA interrupted by a small cross patée at the top. |
