| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, as sculpted by Raphael David Maklouf. The Queen's draped bust is depicted in a regal and composed manner, occupying the central left field of the coin. The legend BERMUDA arcs along the left rim and ELIZABETH II along the upper right rim, while the denomination FIVE DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower portion of the field. The portrait displays fine detail consistent with the third definitive effigy used on Commonwealth coinage from 1985 onward. |

Issued to mark the 375th anniversary of the Bermuda Parliament, which first convened in 1620, making it one of the oldest continuous parliamentary bodies in the world — predating the English Civil War, the Glorious Revolution, and every constitutional settlement that shaped the Westminster system it technically predates in unbroken session.
