| Obverse description | The fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, depicting Her Majesty wearing the George IV State Diadem, with a draped bust. The portrait, modelled by Jody Clark, is rendered in high relief on the piedfort flan. The sovereign's title and denomination form a continuous legend encircling the effigy, separated by a central dot, with the engraver's initials J.C. appearing at the truncation. |
