| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted with a diademed and draped bust, after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley. The legend ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF JERSEY arcs around the upper field, with the date 2014 positioned to the lower right. The engraver's initials IRB appear truncated beneath the portrait. The coin displays a deeply mirrored proof field contrasting with the finely frosted effigy. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a central heart-shaped design enclosing the famous balcony scene quotation from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, rendered in flowing script lettering: 'O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?' To the right, a hand extends from a draped sleeve reaching downward toward another hand from below, symbolising the star-crossed lovers' meeting. A detailed rose bloom occupies the lower centre of the composition. The denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed in a straight legend across the upper field above the heart motif, all set against a deeply mirrored proof background. |
