Obverse: This historic coin features the crisp, left-facing bare portrait of King George VI, meticulously designed by artist Thomas Humphrey Paget. Surrounding the royal profile is the prominent Latin legend "GEORGIVS VI D : G : BR : OMN : REX", which abbreviates his full title as King of Great Britain by the Grace of God. A finely beaded border traces the inner rim of the coin's obverse, perfectly framing the smooth fields and standard reeded edge that define pre-decimal British silver coinage.
Reverse: Quartered shield of arms with crown above, flanked by crowned monograms “G R”; designer’s initials K G (George Kruger Gray) below the shield.
