| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The Queen's truncated bust is shown in fine relief against the coin field. The surrounding legend reads ALDERNEY FIVE POUNDS ELIZABETH II, accompanied by the engraver's initials IRB and the date 2014. The portrait conveys a dignified and formal regal character consistent with Rank-Broadley's celebrated numismatic style. |

| Reverse description | A richly detailed composition featuring large red poppies rendered in vivid colour-printing against a deep black field, evoking the iconic symbol of wartime remembrance. A prominent full-bloom poppy with delicate purple stamens dominates the lower portion of the design, while smaller poppy blooms and falling petals are scattered across the upper field, suggesting descent and loss. The legend REMEMBER THE FALLEN arcs around the upper periphery in bold capital letters. The contrast between the brilliant crimson of the flowers and the darkened background creates a striking and solemn visual effect befitting the commemorative theme. |
