| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a pearl necklace and drop earrings, set within a beaded border. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left field and GIBRALTAR along the upper right, with the date 2006 positioned at lower right. The engraver's initials RDM appear in small relief below the truncation. This is the Raphael Maklouf portrait, characterised by its refined neoclassical modelling and the Queen's George IV State Diadem. |

| Reverse description | A three-quarter facing portrait of an elderly Queen Elizabeth II, smiling warmly as she cradles a young infant in her arms, commemorating her role as grandmother. Decorative foliate sprays flank the central group. The arc legend 80 GLORIOUS YEARS runs along the upper field, while FIVE POUNDS appears in the lower field, all within a beaded border. The design evokes an intimate, domestic quality in contrast to the formal regality of the obverse. |
