| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara and a pearl drop earring with a pearl necklace, as rendered by engraver Raphael David Maklouf. The effigy is presented in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery, while GIBRALTAR and the date 2005 arc along the right periphery, all in raised Latin characters. The engraver's initials RDM appear discreetly below the portrait near the truncation. |

Pierre-Charles Villeneuve commanded the Franco-Spanish fleet at Trafalgar in October 1805 and was captured by the British following the battle. The coin's release in 2005 marked the bicentenary of Trafalgar — a politically delicate anniversary that prompted France to decline participation in the international naval review held off Portsmouth, the French government unwilling to formally commemorate a defeat of that magnitude.
Villeneuve died in Rennes in April 1806, officially ruled a suicide by six stab wounds to the chest.
