| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, diademed and wearing the Diamond Diadem Crown, as rendered by engraver Joel Iskowitz. The portrait is positioned centrally within the field, with the circumferential legend arranged around the periphery. The date appears below the effigy in the lower field. The design reflects a refined commemorative style consistent with Channel Islands coinage of this period. |

| Additional information |
The Sapphire Jubilee marked the 65th anniversary of Elizabeth II's coronation in 2018 — a threshold no British monarch had previously reached. Alderney, a Crown dependency not subject to UK parliamentary legislation, has long issued commemorative coinage through its relationship with the Royal Mint, producing limited-edition pieces that circulate nominally but exist primarily as collector vehicles. The 65-year milestone generated a substantial commemorative program across multiple issuers and formats.
