| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted bare-headed with a tiara, her hair elaborately coiffed. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left periphery, with ISLE OF MAN along the upper right, and the date 2008 positioned at the lower right. The engraver's initials IRB appear truncated at the base of the portrait. A beaded border frames the design. |

| Reverse description | Two football players in dynamic action occupy the central field, one player executing a tackle against an opponent who dribbles a ball; both figures are rendered in high relief. Behind the players, a pentagon-shaped outline evokes the map of Switzerland, host nation of UEFA Euro 2008, within which the Swiss coat of arms shield appears at the apex alongside host city names BASEL, ZURICH, BERN, and GENEVE arranged around decorative stars. The curved legend EUROPEAN FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP arcs along the upper periphery, and the denomination 1 CROWN appears at the base. The Pobjoy Mint mark PM is visible at the lower right of the design. |
