The coin is circular and gold-colored. The coin has a scalloped edge. There are four shields on the coin. An anchor on the left, a crown over a shield with three lions in the top, a shield with a fleur-de-lis design on the bottom, and a shield with a lion and a unicorn split by a cross on the right. Two scepters are crossed behind the shields. The writing on the coin is in Latin, and appears on the top and bottom. The top of the coin reads 'REX 1703 MAG' and 'BR HIB ET' on the bottom. A crown sits on top of the center shield.
