Obverse: This antique copper-alloy coin features the un-crowned, left-facing bare head portrait of King George V centered perfectly within a raised rim decorated with a fine, beaded border pattern. Surrounding the monarch's classic side profile is the formal abbreviated Latin legend GEORGIVS V DEI GRA: BRITT: OMN: REX FID: DEF: IND: IMP:, which proclaims him King of all the Britains, Defender of the Faith, and Emperor of India. The warm, aged bronze composition shows a smooth, naturally oxidized patina that highlights the fine details of the king's hair, mustache, and short beard. This specific specimen represents the standard 30.8mm diameter circulation strike minted at the Royal Mint in London.
