| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in the third definitive portrait by Raphael David Maklouf, depicting the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem with draped shoulders. The truncation of the bust is sharply defined, and the effigy is positioned centrally within the coin's field. A continuous Latin legend encircles the portrait, giving the sovereign's name, titles, and face value. The design is characteristic of Maklouf's refined, slightly idealized portraiture style introduced in 1985. |

| Reverse description | A full-length standing figure of Britannia, depicted facing left, clad in a flowing robe and helmet. She holds a trident upright in her right hand and cradles an olive branch together with a shield bearing the Union flag in her left arm, symbolizing peace and national identity. The design, engraved by Philip Nathan, revives the classical Britannia motif in a bold, neoclassical style with fine linear detail throughout the figure and drapery. The coin's denomination, gold content, and date are inscribed in a surrounding legend, with the engraver's surname appearing in the field. |
