The legend MARTIN · COLES · HARMAN curves along the upper periphery, flanked by raised dots forming an inner beaded border. The date 1965 appears in the lower field beneath the truncation.

| Reverse description | Finely detailed bust of a puffin (Fratercula arctica) facing left and occupying the central field, with the bird's characteristic large, laterally compressed beak and textured plumage rendered in bold relief. The legend LUNDY arcs across the upper periphery, while HALF PUFFIN curves along the lower portion, both separated by the beaded border running around the coin's inner edge. The overall design is simple yet emblematic, referencing the seabird colonies for which Lundy Island is renowned. |
