| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, depicted with characteristic curled hair and a pearl drop earring. The portrait, modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley, is rendered in high relief against a frosted field with a mirror-polished background, characteristic of proof production. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear below the truncation of the neck. The surrounding legend reads 'ALDERNEY FIVE POUNDS ELIZABETH II' with the date '2014' positioned to the lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved group portrait of three generations of the British Royal Family, with Queen Elizabeth II prominently depicted at centre wearing a wide-brimmed hat and coat, flanked by two younger male members of the dynasty rendered in three-quarter relief against the polished field. Decorative foliate and scrollwork motifs occupy the lower and upper portions of the field, providing an elegant framing device. The legend 'DYNASTY FROM DESTINY' arcs across the upper field in bold serif capitals, with the subtitle 'A LEGACY, A DUTY' inscribed below in smaller lettering. The composition evokes themes of royal continuity, heritage, and dynastic duty. |
