The obverse side of 2021 1 oz Proof Queen’s Virtues Truth Coins features Queen Elizabeth II. This crowned bust shows Her Majesty in right-profile relief wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem crown.

Along the rim are the coin’s hallmarks.

On the reverse of the 2021 1 oz Silver Queen’s Virtues Truth Coin is the allegorical representation of truth depicted as a gilded winged angelic figure holding a mirror.
