| Obverse description | Third-portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing a jewelled crown, drop earring, and necklace, as designed by Raphael David Maklouf. The truncation of the bust is visible at the lower field. The peripheral legend reads ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY, and the date 1996 appears in the lower field beneath the portrait. The frosted cameo relief of the effigy contrasts sharply with the mirror-polished proof fields. |

The football is rendered in three-dimensional detail with its characteristic pentagonal and hexagonal panel pattern. The upper peripheral legend reads EUROPEAN FOOTBALL, and the lower legend reads FIVE POUNDS, both in bold raised lettering against the mirrored proof field. |
