| Obverse description | First laureate and draped bust of King William III facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and laurel wreath. The effigy is encircled by the Latin regal legend. The mintmark 'B' for the Bristol Mint appears beneath the bust, serving as the principal identifier for this provincial issue. The portrait reflects the engraving style of James Roettier, characterised by a bold, classically inspired profile. |
