| Obverse description | Gold-plated effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after Ian Rank-Broadley, facing right, wearing a tiara and earrings. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the upper left rim and 'BERMUDA' along the upper right rim. The face value '$5' appears in the lower field below the portrait. The designer's initials 'IRB' are present beneath the truncation of the bust. The gold plating applied to the royal effigy contrasts sharply with the brilliant proof silver field. |

| Additional information |
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip visited Bermuda in November 2003 as part of a Caribbean tour marking the Golden Jubilee year, though the jubilee itself had been celebrated the previous year. It was her third visit to the territory. Bermuda, as a British Overseas Territory, issues commemorative coinage with some regularity for royal occasions, typically through the Pobjoy Mint.
KM#130 shares its specification with the standard 28.28g crown-sized format used across dozens of Commonwealth commemoratives of the period, struck by the same contractors for multiple territories simultaneously.
