| Obverse description | Left-facing crowned effigy of King George VI occupies the central field, depicted as a bare-shouldered bust wearing the Imperial State Crown, engraved by Percy Metcalfe whose initials 'PM' appear small below the truncation. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail on the crown's arches, crosses, and fleurs-de-lis. The surrounding legend reads GEORGIVS VI REX ET INDIAE IMPERATOR, arranged along the full circumference between two beaded borders. The inscription confirms the king's titles as Rex (King) and Indiae Imperator (Emperor of India), reflecting the pre-1948 royal style. |
