WEIGHT: 33.15 g 1.169 oz. DIAMETER OF PLANCHET: 36 mm. The obverse shows Sir Bertram Mackennal's bareheaded effigy of King George V facing left. Lettering: GEORGIVS V BRITT: OMN: REX ET IND: IMP. Translation: George V, King of all the British Isles and Emperor of India.
The reverse, designed by William McMillan, shows Saint George naked on horseback and armed with a short sword, an allegory of the physical and mental strength which achieved victory over Prussianism. The horse tramples on the Prussian eagle shield and the emblems of death, a skull and cross-bones. In the background are ocean waves and just off-centre near the right upper rim is the risen sun of Victory.
