| Obverse description | The obverse bears Arnold Machin's iconic second portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicting a right-facing draped bust of the young Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The finely modelled high-relief portrait is set within a beaded border, with the Latin legend arcing around the periphery reading ·ELIZABETH·II·D:G:REG:F:D: on the left and upper field, and FIVE POUNDS· continuing on the right. The truncation of the bust is low, revealing the shoulders with a draped neckline. The overall design exemplifies the refined neoclassical portrait style characteristic of Machin's celebrated coinage work. |
