| Aversbeschreibung | The fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modelled by Jody Clark, occupies the centre of the obverse, depicting the monarch in right-facing profile wearing the George IV State Diadem and a drop earring. The portrait is rendered with fine detail in the hair and crown ornamentation, characteristic of the Clark effigy introduced in 2015. The engraver's initials J.C. appear in the lower field beneath the truncation. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 5 POUNDS · 2017, disposed in a continuous arc around the periphery of the coin. |

Released as part of the Royal Mint's ongoing commemorative program, this piece marks the centenary of the First World War's gas warfare — specifically the large-scale use of chlorine and phosgene by both sides along the Western Front from 1915 onward. The issue belongs to a five-coin series covering distinct aspects of the conflict, with each reverse designed by David Rowlands.
Gas casualties accounted for roughly 1.3 million of the war's total wounded, yet fatalities from gas were proportionally lower than popular memory suggests — approximately 90,000 deaths. That statistical reality shaped how governments and veterans' groups chose to commemorate chemical warfare, always uneasily.
