Obverse description Bare-headed effigy of King Edward VII facing right, modelled by George William de Saulles, with naturalistically rendered hair and short beard. The truncation of the bust is cut cleanly at the neck, with the engraver's initials 'DES' visible below. A continuous Latin legend encircles the portrait within a fine beaded border, reading clockwise from the lower left. The portrait is rendered in high relief with bold modelling typical of Edwardian coinage.

Reverse description Central design featuring the denomination 'SIX PENCE' in two lines within a wreath composed of an olive sprig on the left and an oak branch on the right, tied at the base. A royal crown surmounts the wreath. The year of issue appears in the exergue below the wreath. The overall composition is enclosed within a beaded border and follows the traditional heraldic wreath design used on British silver sixpences of the period.
