| Reverse description | A youthful right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the State Crown, struck in ultra-high relief against a mirror-polished field, evoking her early coronation portrait. The circular legend HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II arcs around the upper periphery, and the denomination £5 appears in the lower field flanked by two raised dots. A small mintmark is visible at the base of the portrait's truncation. The dramatic relief of the crowned bust creates a powerful three-dimensional sculptural effect characteristic of this commemorative issue. |
