| Obverse description | The fifth definitive effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, modelled by Jody Clark, is depicted in right-facing profile bust, wearing the George IV State Diadem and a drop earring. The legend ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 5 POUNDS · 2020 surrounds the effigy, distributed across the upper and lower periphery of the field, with the engraver's initials J.C. incused beneath the truncation. The portrait is rendered in high relief against the deeply mirrored proof field, characteristic of Royal Mint collector issues. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Chris Facey, celebrates the iconic British rock band Queen through a bold, graphic composition evoking their legendary live performances. The word QUEEN is prominently inscribed in the centre of the field in large capital letters, drawn in the band's distinctive logotype style. Surrounding the central legend are stylised depictions of the band's signature instruments and stage iconography: an electric guitar to the left, a second guitar to the right, a bass drum bearing a winged crest in the lower field, and a microphone stand extending diagonally across the mid-field. The upper portion of the reverse depicts a highly textured representation of a concert hall ceiling or stage lighting rig, rendered in fine engine-turned lines, while the engraver's initials CF appear at lower left. |
