| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II occupies the central field, rendered in a mature portrait style with finely detailed coiffure and a jeweled crown. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the circumferential legend reading HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II · TDC in raised Latin characters. The date 2014 appears in the lower exergual area beneath the portrait. The overall treatment is consistent with a prooflike finish on a gold-plated copper flan. |

| Reverse description | The full Royal Arms of the United Kingdom is depicted in vivid polychrome enamel at the center of the field, with the quartered shield displaying the lions of England, the lion of Scotland, and the Irish harp, encircled by the Garter bearing the motto HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE. The shield is supported by a crowned golden lion to the dexter and a chained silver unicorn to the sinister, both standing on a grassy compartment adorned with Tudor roses, with the motto scroll DIEU ET MON DROIT below. Surmounting the arms is the Imperial State Crown atop a helm. The circumferential legend VIVAT REGINA QUEEN ELIZABETH II arcs across the upper field, flanked by the birth year 1926 to the lower left and the issue year 2014 to the lower right, while FIVE POUNDS appears in raised lettering along the lower rim. |
