| Obverse description | Right-facing truncated effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, as modelled by Arnold Machin. The legend ELIZABETH THE SECOND PM encircles the portrait, with the date 1984 positioned below the bust. The design is rendered in a refined, portrait-style relief characteristic of Machin's second definitive effigy used on Isle of Man coinage. |
