| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Jeffrey Matthews, presents a stylised cartographic view of the British Isles seen from above, overlaid with a pair of clock hands pivoted at Greenwich and pointing to twelve o'clock, symbolising the passage into the new Millennium. The commemorative years 1999 and 2000 appear to either side of the central design in the field. The Latin legend ANNO DOMINI arcs above, while the denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed in the lower exergue. The designer's initials JM are incorporated discretely into the field. |
