| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the George IV State Diadem, a pearl drop earring, and a pearl necklace, with a draped bust rendered in fine relief after the third definitive portrait by Raphael David Maklouf. The legend ELIZABETH II is inscribed along the left field, while ISLE OF MAN and the date 1996 appear along the right, all within a toothed border. The engraver's initials RDM appear discreetly below the truncation of the bust. The coin's proof finish imparts a deeply mirrored field contrasting with the frosted portrait. |

| Reverse description | A fully armoured Sir Lancelot is depicted in three-quarter view astride a rearing white horse, rendered in high relief with fine detail to his plate armour, flowing cape, and lance held aloft with a pennant. The composition evokes the chivalric tradition of Arthurian legend, with the horse occupying the right field and the knight dominating the centre. The curved legend THE LEGEND OF KING ARTHUR · SIR LANCELOT arcs around the upper portion of the design, while ONE CROWN appears across the lower field flanked by decorative fleur-de-lis stops. The entire design is set within a plain inner border against a deeply mirrored proof field. |
