| Obverse description | Youthful laureate effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, modelled by Mary Gillick, with fine drapery visible at the shoulder truncation. The portrait is rendered in low relief in a classical style characteristic of Gillick's work for the first Elizabethan coinage. A beaded inner border frames the design. The legend encircles the bust, reading from the lower left, and includes the now-distinctive 'BRITT:OMN' title, retained only for this single year of circulation coinage before its subsequent omission. |
