| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, modeled by Raphael David Maklouf. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the left periphery and 'ALDERNEY' along the right, both in raised Latin lettering. The date '2003' appears in the lower exergue beneath the truncation of the bust. The field is plain and unadorned, allowing the portrait to dominate the design. |
