| Obverse description | Crowned and draped bust of King George V facing left, as adapted from the Indian 1/4 Anna obverse die, constituting the mule element of this piece. The royal effigy features the king in imperial regalia with a crown above. The encircling legend reads 'GEORGE V KING EMPEROR' in raised Latin lettering, and the field is bounded by a toothed border. The use of the Indian obverse die rather than the standard Australian halfpenny obverse die defines this coin as a mule and accounts for its extreme rarity. |
