| Obverse description | The obverse features the fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, depicting a right-facing crowned bust of the monarch wearing the George IV State Diadem, a drop earring visible at the ear. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, characteristic of proof coinage. The peripheral legend reads ELIZABETH II·D·G·REG·F·D·25 POUNDS·2020, divided around the bust, with the engraver's initials J.C. incuse below the truncation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Chris Facey, is a stylized tribute to the British rock band Queen, depicting an arrangement of the band's iconic instruments set against a mirror-polished field. At upper centre, piano keys are rendered in relief; to the left and right, the necks and bodies of electric guitars emerge from the lower field. At centre, a bass drum bearing the band's crest — featuring the winged Freddie Mercury figure — is flanked by a handheld microphone on a stand. The bold legend QUEEN is inscribed across the central field, with the engraver's initials CF at lower left. |
