| 表面の説明 | Young laureate and draped bust of King George II facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed flowing curls and a prominent laurel wreath. The truncation shows an elaborately draped mantle with armoured shoulders, characteristic of the early Georgian milled coinage. The effigy is modelled in the classical tradition, with a strong, youthful profile. The Latin legend encircles the bust close to the toothed border, reading GEORGIVS·II·DEI·GRATIA. |

George II's early sixpences were produced under the supervision of John Croker, a German-born engraver who had served the mint since Anne's reign and whose portrait work drew persistent criticism from contemporaries who found his likenesses unflattering to the monarch. The "young bust" designation distinguishes this run from the older portrait introduced in 1743, though George himself was already in his mid-forties when the series began.
Several die varieties exist across this run, with roses and plumes, plumes alone, and plain-field reverses reflecting which moneyers held the bullion contracts at the time of striking.
