| Obverse description | Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, rendered in the second crowned portrait as modelled by Arnold Machin, with the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The truncation of the bust is visible at the lower field, and the peripheral legend curves around the upper and lower portions of the coin. As a uniface pattern, this piece bears the portrait die on the obverse only, with the reverse left entirely blank. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely blank, comprising a plain, unadorned field bounded by a raised rim, consistent with the uniface pattern nature of this trial piece struck to test the obverse die design ahead of decimalization. |
