| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the George IV State Diadem adorned with floral motifs, a pearl drop earring, and a beaded necklace, as modeled by Raphael David Maklouf; the engraver's initials RDM appear at the base of the truncation. The Bailiwick of Guernsey shield — displaying three golden lions passant on a red field — is positioned to the left of the portrait in the field. The circumferential legend reads ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY. |

| Reverse description | A uniformed military officer, depicted in three-quarter view standing to the right with one hand on his hip, dominates the foreground of the design. Behind him, an expansive D-Day invasion scene unfolds in the middle and background fields, featuring landing craft approaching the shoreline, military vehicles and trucks advancing on the beach, and aircraft — including barrage balloons — filling the sky above the fleet. The design commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Normandy landings of June 1944. The surrounding legend reads 50th ANNIVERSARY NORMANDY 1944-1994, with the denomination 25 POUNDS inscribed along the lower border, all separated by raised dots. |
