The Queen is depicted wearing the George IV State Diadem and a pearl drop earring, with a beaded necklace visible at the truncation. The engraver's initials 'RDM' appear at the base of the bust. The circular legend around the upper field reads 'ELIZABETH·II·DEI·GRATIA·REGINA·F·D', while the denomination 'FIVE POUNDS' arcs along the lower field. |
