One side of a gold coin features an inscription circling an image (see "Inscriptions" field). It shows Queen Anne in profile from the shoulders up with curled hair tied with a ribbon and draped fabric. The Latin inscription "ANNA DEI GRATIA" curves along the edges, and the word "VIGO" is positioned at the bottom. The circular gold surface displays textured variations, a reddish patina, and a thin, decorative border around the rim.
