| Obverse description | The fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark, depicting the crowned and jewelled right-facing bust of the sovereign wearing the George IV State Diadem, a drop earring visible at the ear. The peripheral legend reads ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 5 POUNDS · 2018 in raised Latin lettering, with the engraver's initials J.C. incuse below the truncation. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, characteristic of Royal Mint premium issues. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by David Lawrence, features an elaborate wreath of finely detailed poppy blooms and foliage encircling the central field, commemorating the centenary of the Armistice that ended the First World War. Within the wreath, the inscriptions 11:00, 11 NOVEMBER, 1918, LEST WE FORGET, and 2018 are arranged in five lines in the central field, evoking the exact moment the guns fell silent. The engraver's initials DL appear at the lower left within the wreath. The high-relief sculptural treatment of the poppies, each rendered with individual petal and seed-head detail, creates a powerful commemorative composition across the mirror-polished proof surface. |
