The portrait is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, with fine detail in the hair and regalia. The circular legend reads 'ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY' around the upper periphery, with the date '1997' positioned centrally below the bust. |

| Reverse description | Conjoined left-facing effigies of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip set against a detailed depiction of Westminster Abbey, the site of their 1947 marriage. An inner dotted border frames the central composition, and a selectively gold-plated heraldic shield bearing the entwined royal cyphers 'E' and 'P' is prominently displayed at lower centre. The legend 'ELIZABETH AND PHILIP 1947-1997' arcs around the upper periphery, while the denomination 'FIVE POUNDS' is inscribed along the lower arc, separated by a raised dot. |
