| Obverse description | The obverse features the royal cypher of King George V, composed of the interlaced script initials G·R·I· (Georgius Rex Imperator), surmounted by the St. Edward's Crown, all centred around the circular central hole. The date 1935 is divided by the hole, with '19' to the left and '35' to the right, rendered in large numerals. The design is set within a beaded inner border, with the reeded edge visible at the rim. The overall composition is bold and heraldic in character, typical of the engraving style of George Kruger Gray. |
