| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, as modelled by Raphael David Maklouf for the third definitive portrait series. The truncation of the bust is visible at the base, and the Queen is depicted with a draped neckline. The encircling legend reads ISLE OF MAN ELIZABETH II PM followed by the date. The portrait presents a formal, refined rendering characteristic of Maklouf's coinage work for the Crown dependencies. |

| Reverse description | Three Atlantic herrings (Clupea harengus) arranged diagonally in descending tiers within an ornate cartouche featuring elaborate scrollwork and foliate garnishing at the corners and base. The fish are rendered in fine detail with clearly defined scales, fins, and facial features. The numeral '20' appears in the exergue beneath the shield, and the Pobjoy Mint triskelion privy mark is situated to the lower right of the central device. The overall composition references the traditional herring motif long associated with the Isle of Man's maritime heritage. |
