| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in Arnold Machin's second portrait effigy, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The legend ISLE OF MAN arcs along the left field and ELIZABETH II along the right, with the date 1980 positioned in the lower exergue beneath the portrait. A small engraver's mark appears at the base of the truncation. The finely detailed hair and tiara are set against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts two thoroughbred racehorses in full gallop, each mounted by a helmeted jockey, rendered in high relief within a plain inner circle. Above the horses, an eagle perches on a nest with young, surmounting a small heraldic shield at the uppermost point of the inner border. The entire central composition is enclosed by a rope-twist inner border and a continuous chain-link outer border. The commemorative legend BICENTENARY OF THE DERBY arcs across the upper field and ONE CROWN appears in the lower field between the two borders. |
