| Obverse description | Arnold Machin's second portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, depicted as a young woman wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, with hair swept up and draped shoulders. The legend THE GAMBIA is inscribed to the left of the effigy and GAMBIA 1970 to the right, in a clean sans-serif typeface. The finely detailed proof surface imparts exceptional relief and mirror-like contrast to the portrait. The truncation is bare, consistent with Machin's characteristic naturalistic style. |
