Half Pound: Elizabeth I (obverse)
The coin is circular and gold-colored. A crowned bust of a woman, presumably Queen Elizabeth I, is in the center, shown in profile, facing right. She is wearing a gown with gathered fabric at the neckline. The crown features a cross on top and a row of pearls around its base. A beaded circle surrounds the bust. The Latin inscription "REGINA ELIZABETHA" is along the top edge. There are decorative elements along the bottom edge. The coin has a textured surface with visible signs of wear and scratches. It is set against a dark gray background.
