| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed and draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II, after the fourth definitive effigy modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupying the central field. The circumferential legend reads ELIZABETH II to the upper left and ISLE OF MAN to the upper right, with the date 2014 positioned at the lower right, all separated by small Triskeles ornaments. A fine beaded border runs along the inner rim. |

| Reverse description | A lone war horse stands amid the desolation of No Man's Land, surrounded by strands of barbed wire in a stark, atmospheric composition commemorating the First World War. A stylised poppy, the internationally recognised symbol of remembrance, appears as a prominent design element alongside the horse. The legend WE WILL REMEMBER THEM arcs across the upper field, referencing the celebrated line from Laurence Binyon's poem For the Fallen. The denomination ONE CROWN is inscribed in the lower field. The overall design evokes the centenary of the Great War and the role of horses in that conflict. |
