| Obverse description | The obverse bears the fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modeled by Dora de Pédery-Hunt, depicted in right-facing profile with a jeweled tiara, drop earring, and pearl necklace. The queen's hair is styled in soft waves beneath the ornate crown, rendered with fine sculptural detail characteristic of the proof finish. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery, while D·G· REGINA appears on the right, all within a beaded inner border. The mirror-like proof fields provide a sharp contrast to the frosted relief of the portrait. |
