The front of a gold coin features an inscription circling a central image. In profile from the shoulders up, William and Mary face right. William overlaps Mary in the foreground and wears a laurel wreath with long, curly hair. Below the figures, a small elephant sits with a structure on its back. The Latin inscription "GVLIELMVS · ET · MARIA · DEI · GRATIA" follows the coin's circular edge.
