| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after the third portrait by Raphael David Maklouf, depicting the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem and a pearl drop earring with a pearl necklace. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs across the upper field, with ALDERNEY inscribed vertically to the right, and the date 2006 positioned at the base. The engraver's initials RDM appear on the truncation of the bust. The mirrored proof fields provide a sharp contrast against the finely detailed relief. |

| Reverse description | Central frosted field features a three-quarter facing bust of Sir Isaac Newton, portrayed in the style of a late 17th-century gentleman wearing a full flowing periwig and open-necked coat, set against a deeply mirrored background. To the lower left of the bust, a circular emblem depicts a prism refracting a beam of light into a spectrum, referencing Newton's landmark optical discoveries. The legend SIR ISAAC NEWTON arcs across the upper border of an inner raised ring, while FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the lower border. The design is framed by a raised outer border ring, creating a distinctive two-zone composition. |
