| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II, modelled by Arnold Machin, wearing a tiara and with hair elegantly styled. The effigy occupies the central field in high relief, with fine cameo contrast characteristic of proof coinage. The legend ISLE OF MAN arcs along the left periphery and ELIZABETH II along the right, with the date 1980 positioned prominently in the lower field beneath the portrait. A small engraver's initial mark is visible below the truncation. |

| Reverse description | Central design depicts two thoroughbred racehorses at full gallop, each mounted by a helmeted jockey in racing silks, rendered in bold high relief within a recessed oval field. Above the horses, a swooping eagle or falcon clutches a trophy or wreath, evoking the heraldic spirit of the event. A small shield bearing the three legs of Man appears at the top of the inner border. The composition is framed by a decorative laurel or chain border encircling the inner field. The curved legend BICENTENARY OF THE DERBY arcs around the upper periphery, with the denomination ONE CROWN inscribed along the lower margin. |
