| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold front-facing portrait of John Lennon dominates the central field, rendered in high relief with characteristic round wire-rimmed spectacles and shoulder-length hair, as engraved by Danuta Solowiej-Wedderburn. To the lower left, a stylised circular motif depicts the neck and strings of an electric guitar, serving as an emblematic reference to Lennon's musical legacy. The legend JOHN LENNON curves along the upper periphery, while FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the lower border, all separated by a small circular stop. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alderney has no meaningful connection to John Lennon. The island's authorities have issued commemorative gold coinage under British Crown dependency status since the 1990s, essentially functioning as a licensing vehicle for the Royal Mint and private minting firms to produce collector pieces under a legitimate but largely nominal issuing authority. This 2010 issue appeared ten years after the heavily marketed thirtieth anniversary of Lennon's death, which saw a wave of licensed numismatic products across multiple jurisdictions.
The KM#221b designation distinguishes this gold proof from companion issues in silver and base metal struck to the same specifications — a tiered release structure now routine for this type of commemorative program.
