| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, wearing the George IV State Diadem and drop earring. The legend ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY arcs around the upper periphery, with the date 2003 positioned at the lower right. The engraver's initials IRB appear on the truncation of the bust. The deep mirror proof fields provide strong contrast against the finely detailed cameo portrait. |
