| Obverse description | The obverse presents the fourth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as modelled by Dora de Pédery-Hunt, shown in right-facing profile. The Queen is portrayed wearing a diamond diadem and pearl drop earrings, with a pearl necklace at her throat. The legend ELIZABETH II is inscribed along the left arc of the field, while D·G· REGINA arcs along the right, all in raised Latin lettering. A fine dentilated border frames the entire obverse design. The portrait exhibits fine detail in the hair and regalia, rendered with the high relief characteristic of proof coinage. |
