Obverse: This is a circular cupronickel-brass or silver-alloy two shilling coin, also traditionally known as a florin, struck during the latter years of the Second World War. The obverse features the left-facing uncrowned profile of King George VI, designed with fine detail highlighting his hair wave and facial structure. Encircling the bust is the abbreviated Latin inscription "GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX", which translates to "George VI, by the Grace of God, King of all the Britains". A classic beaded border runs tightly along the entire outer rim, while the tiny initials "HP" for the designer are faintly visible at the base of the neck truncation.
