| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Raphael David Maklouf, depicting the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem, a pearl drop earring, and a pearl necklace. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left field, GIBRALTAR along the upper right, and the date 2005 curves along the lower right. The engraver's initials RDM appear discreetly in the lower left field near the truncation. The design is framed by a fine dentilated border. |

| Reverse description | The central field depicts two Allied soldiers in combat poses set against a Burmese landscape, with a prominent multi-tiered pagoda and traditional structures visible in the background. The foreground soldier, wearing a steel helmet, crouches behind cover aiming a rifle, while a second soldier in a bush hat stands behind him shouldering his weapon. A color-applied red poppy, symbolizing remembrance, is positioned prominently at the lower centre of the field. The legend BURMA CAMPAIGN arcs along the upper border, with FIVE POUNDS inscribed along the lower border, all within a dentilated rim. |
