Obverse description Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth definitive portrait, depicting the Queen with a tiara and draped neckline. The legend ISLE OF MAN ELIZABETH II curves around the upper periphery, while the date appears at the base of the portrait flanked by small decorative motifs. The initials IRB, denoting the engraver Ian Rank-Broadley, appear below the truncation of the neck. The design is rendered in fine detail characteristic of Rank-Broadley's naturalistic style.

Reverse description Central design featuring crossed cricket bat, hockey stick, and hurley stick, symbolising popular sports of the Isle of Man, presented in a bold heraldic arrangement within the field. The composition is flanked on either side by upright sprigs of laurel or olive, lending a classical framing to the sporting motif. The denomination ONE POUND is inscribed along the lower periphery in raised Latin lettering. The overall design is bold and emblematic, typical of Pobjoy Mint's commemorative-influenced circulation issues for the Isle of Man.
