| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II as a young woman, modeled at approximately age 27, laureate with a wreath of laurel leaves in her hair. The portrait, designed by Mary Gillick, depicts a bare-shouldered, lightly draped bust with fine detail in the hair and facial features. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA, positioned along the upper and lower periphery of the coin. The field is plain and unadorned, drawing focus to the refined classical portrait style characteristic of Gillick's work. |
