| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Diamond Diadem Crown, with drop pearl earring visible, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The portrait, engraved by Joel Iskowitz, presents the Queen in a mature likeness with fine detail in the crown's floral and foliate motifs. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the circumferential legend divided across the upper and right fields, and the date 2018 positioned in the lower exergue. |

| Reverse description | Central depiction of the Sovereign's Orb and Sceptre with Cross, the principal regalia of the British coronation ceremony, rendered in fine detail against an elaborate background motif inspired by the Rose Window of Westminster Abbey's south transept. The Gothic tracery pattern radiates symmetrically behind the regalia, evoking the setting of the 1953 Coronation. Commemorative legends arc above and below the central devices, with the royal cypher EIIR incorporated into the design. |
