| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted as a mature draped bust wearing a tiara, after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley whose initials 'IRB' appear below the truncation. The legend 'ELIZABETH II ISLE OF MAN' arcs around the upper field, with the date '2003' positioned at lower right. Small triskelion symbols flank the legend at intervals, referencing the arms of the Isle of Man. The finely detailed portrait is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. |

| Reverse description | Two Balinese kittens are depicted seated side by side in the centre of the field, rendered in fine detail with carefully engraved fur texture; the left kitten faces forward while the right turns slightly outward. A decorative rope border frames the lower portion of the design, with a small Manx cat figurine on a plinth visible at lower left and birds in flight scattered through the background field. The Pobjoy Mint triangular logo appears at the top of the field, with a small mintmark 'U' at the right. Below the central design, the denomination inscription 'Au. 1/5 oz.' appears above the word 'CROWN', with the 'PM' mintmark incorporated after 'CROWN' at the base. |
