| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the portrait by Raphael David Maklouf, depicting the Queen wearing the Royal Diadem and draped robes. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left field and ALDERNEY along the upper right, with the date 2004 positioned in the lower exergue. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, characteristic of the Maklouf third coinage portrait used on British Commonwealth issues. |
