| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, rendered in Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth definitive portrait. The truncation of the bust is draped. The circular legend reads ELIZABETH II to the upper left and ISLE OF MAN to the upper right, with the date 2005 positioned at the lower right. Three small Manx triskelion symbols are interspersed within the legend, and fine dentilation borders the coin's rim throughout. |

| Reverse description | The central field depicts two Isle of Man Steam Packet Company vessels juxtaposed: the modern car ferry Ben My Chree VI in the foreground-left and the historic paddle steamer Mona's Isle at right, rendered in fine engraved detail with three seagulls in flight above. Below the ships, a stylised wave motif separates the vessels from the lower inscriptions. The denomination 1 CROWN appears at the bottom centre, flanked by the vessel names BEN MY CHREE VI to the left and MONA'S ISLE to the right. The curved arc legend THE 175th ANNIVERSARY OF THE ISLE OF MAN STEAM PACKET COMPANY runs along the upper periphery, with the Pobjoy Mint mark visible in the lower right field. |
