| Reverse description | The central device features the royal cipher EIIR surmounted by the St. Edward's Crown, all encircled by the Garter bearing the motto HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE. Four cross-pattée ornaments and four floral emblems of the United Kingdom — Tudor rose, Scottish thistle, Welsh leek, and Irish shamrock — radiate symmetrically from the Garter in a cruciform arrangement, filling the field with heraldic richness. The design is executed in high relief against a mirror-polished background. The upper legend reads HM QUEEN ELIZABETH II · 95TH BIRTHDAY, while FIVE POUNDS appears along the lower periphery, all within a plain raised rim. |
