| Obverse description | Fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, depicting a crowned and draped bust wearing the George IV State Diadem, as designed by Jody Clark. The sovereign's portrait is rendered in high relief with fine surface detailing characteristic of proof coinage. The abbreviated Latin legend encircles the effigy, accompanied by the denomination and date. The engraver's initials J.C. appear discreetly on the truncation. |

| Reverse description | A boldly rendered raven in high relief dominates the design, its form overlapping a detailed architectural section of the Tower of London's Mint Street walls, evoking the historic legend of the Tower ravens. The composition integrates naturalistic and architectural elements with accomplished artistry by engraver Glyn Davies. The legend identifying the subject is inscribed in the lower portion of the field, beneath the principal design. Fine surface treatment and deep relief are hallmarks of the proof striking. The engraver's initials GD appear within the design. |
