| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as sculpted by Raphael David Maklouf, wearing the George IV State Diadem adorned with roses, shamrocks, and thistles, with pearl drop earrings visible. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a polished field, with fine detail in the hair and jewellery. The circular legend reads ELIZABETH II DEI GRA REGINA GIBRALTAR, divided by raised dots, with the date 2019 positioned at the base. The engraver's initials RDM appear truncated below the portrait. A fine beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | Central design depicts Saint George, clad in armour and bearing a shield, confronting a large winged dragon rearing up on its hind legs in a dynamic and dramatically rendered composition. The dragon dominates the upper field, its wings fully spread and claws outstretched, while the armoured figure stands resolute in the lower right, sword at the ready. The scene is executed in bold relief with strong sculptural depth. The peripheral legend HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE, the motto of the Order of the Garter, is inscribed in capital letters around the circumference, punctuated by raised dots. A beaded border encircles the entire reverse design. |
