| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Diamond Diadem Crown, with a pearl drop earring and pearl necklace visible. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the hair and crown ornaments. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH · II · DEI · GRA · REGINA · ALDERNEY C.I., with the date 2020 positioned in the lower exergue. The coin's polished field provides a proof-quality mirrored contrast to the raised design. |

| Reverse description | A dynamic celebratory scene commemorating the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, depicting jubilant civilians waving Union flags from atop a vehicle, with the iconic dome of St Paul's Cathedral rising prominently in the background. The figures are rendered in sculpted relief against a rhodium-finished field, with selective gold gilding highlighting the border and lettering areas, creating a striking two-tone effect. The legend VE-DAY 75 YEARS arcs across the upper portion of the coin, while DOUBLE SOVEREIGN is inscribed along the lower arc. The date 8/5/1945 appears within the design, anchoring the commemorative subject historically. |
