| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted with a pearl necklace and drop earrings, wearing the George IV State Diadem. The portrait, modelled by Raphael David Maklouf, is rendered in fine relief against a polished field. The engraver's initials 'RDM' appear at the base of the truncation. The circular legend reads 'ELIZABETH II QUEEN OF GIBRALTAR' arcing around the upper periphery, with the date '2014' positioned below the portrait. The design is framed by a border of raised beads. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicting a group of World War I British soldiers advancing in battle, rendered in high relief. The lead soldier is shown prominently in profile, rifle with fixed bayonet raised, pressing forward across broken, rocky ground, with fellow troops following closely behind. The scene captures the grim determination of infantry combat during the Battle of the Somme. The inscription 'SOMME 1916' arcs across the upper field, while 'ONE CROWN' is inscribed along the lower periphery. The design is surrounded by a decorative gear-tooth inner border. |
