| Obverse description | The obverse features a bi-metallic presentation with a gold-toned outer ring and a mirrored inner disc. At center, the standing full-length figure of Britannia is depicted facing right, helmeted with flowing hair, holding a trident in her left hand and a shield bearing the Union Jack device in her right, with an olive branch at her feet. The date 2003 appears to the right of the figure, and the mint mark and fineness mark G / Ag 999 are inscribed at lower left. The surrounding legend in the outer ring reads PRUEBA * TRIAL * PROBE * ESSAI, separated by five-pointed stars, with GREAT BRITAIN inscribed along the lower arc, evoking a multilingual trial or essai designation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bi-metallic design with a gold-toned outer ring bearing twelve five-pointed stars arranged in a circle, referencing the European Union motif. Within the mirrored inner disc, a seated classical female figure, laureate and draped, is shown facing right, holding a sceptre or scroll in her right hand, positioned to the left of a large numeral '1'. Below the figure, the Euro symbol 'E' is rendered in stylized form, with the word SPECIMEN inscribed within an oval cartouche overlaid upon it. Diagonal lines radiate from the upper field behind the figure, adding a dynamic graphic element to the composition. |
