| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem. The bust is finely detailed with naturalistically rendered hair and a pearl drop earring visible. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear incuse below the truncation. The circumferential legend reads 'ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF JERSEY' with the date '2009' to the right, all set against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Reverse description | Dynamic high-relief composition depicting two armoured cavalry troopers on horseback in the heat of battle, rendered in fine frosted relief against a mirror-polished field. The left-hand rider brandishes a sword aloft while the right-hand rider extends a pistol or baton, both wearing mid-seventeenth-century lobster-pot helmets and buff coats. The series title 'GREAT BATTLES' arcs along the upper legend, 'FIVE POUNDS' curves along the lower exergue, and the commemorative inscription 'BATTLE OF NASEBY 1645' appears in three lines to the right of centre in the field. |
