Beschrijving voorzijde Draped bust of Queen Anne facing left, her hair elaborately dressed and tied with a ribbon, engraved in high relief by John Croker. The effigy displays fine classical portraiture characteristic of early 18th-century English coinage. The circumferential legend reads ANNA·DEI·GRATIA· with the word VIGO prominently inscribed in the lower exergue, commemorating the capture of Spanish silver at the Battle of Vigo Bay in 1702. The inner border features fine milled dentilation. The overall design conveys regal authority through the queen's composed profile and richly rendered drapery.
