Obverse: This historic coin displays the obverse face of a British bronze denomination carrying the left-facing, uncrowned effigy of King George V. Masterfully sculpted by the renowned Australian artist Sir Edgar Bertram MacKennal, the portrait showcases the king's finely groomed beard, moustache, and hair details in deep relief. The portrait is framed by a comprehensive raised Latin inscription reading "GEORGIVS V DEI GRA: BRITT: OMN: REX FID: DEF: IND: IMP:", which translates to "George V by the Grace of God, King of all the Britains, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India." A precise, closely set perimetric dentiled border runs along the entire outer edge of the rim to structure the layout.
Reverse: Seated Britannia facing right, holding trident and shield; date 1919 below.
