| Obverse description | Left-facing crowned effigy of King George V, depicted with a short beard and wearing imperial robes with an ermine-trimmed mantle, as modelled by engraver Edgar Bertram MacKennal. The sovereign's portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the crown, collar, and drapery. The peripheral legend reads GEORGE V KING AND EMPEROR OF INDIA., with a small dot at the base of the design serving as a stop. The effigy occupies the central field with a plain, unadorned background characteristic of British colonial coinage of the period. |
