The portrait is rendered in high relief in the style associated with the Raphael Maklouf tradition as adapted for Crown Dependencies. The circular legend reads ELIZABETH II · SOVEREIGN · ALDERNEY C.I. around the upper periphery, with the date 2020 appearing in the lower exergue. A fine dentilated border frames the entire design. |
