| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the third definitive portrait by Raphael David Maklouf, depicting the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem and a pearl necklace. The truncation of the bust is clearly defined, with fine detail rendered in the hair and crown. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left field and ALDERNEY along the upper right field, with the date 2001 positioned in the lower exergue. The portrait is set against a deeply mirrored proof field characteristic of a high-quality silver proof strike. |

| Reverse description | Right-facing portrait of an older Queen Elizabeth II, presented as a more mature effigy befitting a 75th birthday commemorative issue, encircled by a decorative wreath of floral and foliate motifs. The circumferential legend HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II 75th BIRTHDAY arcs around the upper portion of the field, flanking the portrait. The denomination £5 appears in bold lettering in the lower field beneath the portrait, flanked by small decorative stops. The overall design conveys a celebratory, portraiture-focused composition executed on a highly polished proof surface. |
