| Obverse description | Dual effigies of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, juxtaposing a youthful uncrowned bust in profile at right with the crowned and mature effigy at left, the latter wearing the State Crown. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs across the upper field, flanked by decorative stops, with ISLE OF MAN continuing around the right and 2012 at the lower right. The composition commemorates the Queen's Diamond Jubilee by contrasting her likeness across six decades of reign. |

| Reverse description | Full-length standing figure of Juno Moneta, rendered in classical sculptural style, depicted in draped robes with her right arm raised and left hand extended, occupying the centre of the field. The inscription JUNO MONETA is divided across the upper field on either side of the figure, with ONE CROWN similarly flanking the lower portion. The Pobjoy Mint privy mark PM appears in the lower left field. The design references the ancient Roman goddess credited as the patron of coinage, whose temple on the Capitoline Hill gave rise to the word 'money'. |
