| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Diamond Diadem Crown, with a drop earring and necklace visible, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The portrait is depicted with finely detailed hair swept upward beneath the jewelled crown, in the style used for Alderney coinage of this period. The circular legend surrounding the effigy reads ELIZABETH II DEI GRA REGINA ALDERNEY C.I., with the date 2019 appearing in the lower exergue. The rim is bordered by a continuous beaded inner circle. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid design commemorating Remembrance Day, dominated by nine coloured red poppies arranged across the right portion of the coin, their petals rendered in striking colour contrast against the silver field. The left portion displays strands of barbed wire stretching across the design, evoking the imagery of the Western Front battlefields. The commemorative legend LEST WE FORGET arcs across the upper field, and the face value £5 appears at the lower centre. The overall composition conveys a solemn tribute to the fallen of the World Wars. |
