The legends translate across both sides of these denominations as "George the Fifth by the grace of God, King of all the Britains, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India."

The Wreath Crown design by Kruger Gray was much admired and the type design was issued at the request of the Bank of England who liked to stock them at Christmas time to present to good clients, hence why the mintages were always quite small for the currency pieces. Bertram Mackennal (later knighted) was the Australian engraver responsible for the obverse design.
