| 正面描述 | 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. |

New Guinea's coinage was administered under Australian mandate following Germany's expulsion from the territory after World War I, with the distinctive local series introduced in 1929 specifically for the Territory of New Guinea rather than circulating standard Australian issues. The series is notable for featuring a bird of paradise — though production was handled by the King's Norton Metal Company in Birmingham, not an Australian mint.
The 1935 date falls within the final years of George V's reign, and this denomination saw limited but genuine circulation in a territory where cash transactions were still being introduced to much of the indigenous population.
