| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The bust is shown in fine detail with a draped neckline, and the legend encircles the effigy around the periphery of the coin. The initials 'IRB' appear below the truncation, denoting the engraver. |

| Reverse description | A bold and stylized interpretation of the classic St. George and the Dragon motif, as reinterpreted by engraver Paul Day. St. George, depicted in medieval armour and mounted on a rearing horse, drives his lance downward toward the vanquished dragon, which lies prostrate in the lower left field with wings spread and jaws agape. The composition fills the field dynamically, with the date '2012' inscribed vertically along the left side and the engraver's initials 'PJD' appearing in the lower right field. |
