| Reverse description | The reverse presents a right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in fine relief with a diademed and pearl-necklaced portrait characteristic of the Arnold Machin-style coinage bust of the era. The surrounding legend '15TH ANNIVERSARY OF COMMONWEALTH MEMBERSHIP' arcs along the full periphery within a beaded border, commemorating Lesotho's fifteen years as a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. The field is polished to a proof quality mirror finish, providing strong contrast with the frosted portrait. |
