| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted with a tiara and wearing a necklace, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left periphery, while ISLE OF MAN curves along the upper right, and the date 2004 appears at the lower right, all separated by small ornamental stops. The portrait is characterized by fine detail in the hair and facial features, consistent with Rank-Broadley's mature style for Commonwealth issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | Central design depicting a stylized map of Europe surrounded by a ring of ten clasped pairs of hands, each pair representing one of the ten nations admitted to the European Union on 1 May 2004. The names of the ten acceding states — CZECH REP., CYPRUS, ESTONIA, HUNGARY, LATVIA, LITHUANIA, MALTA, POLAND, SLOVAKIA, and SLOVENIA — are inscribed radially around the outer border, each positioned adjacent to its corresponding pair of hands. The legend ENTRY INTO THE EUROPEAN UNION curves across the inner ring above the central motif, with the date 2004 below it and the denomination 1 CROWN at the bottom of the field. The overall composition is rendered in sharp cameo proof relief. |
