| Obverse description | Fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted as a right-facing diademed and draped bust occupying the central field. The Queen wears a tiara and a pearl drop earring, rendered with fine portraiture detail characteristic of the Rank-Broadley series. The circular legend reads ELIZABETH·II·D·G·REG·F·D along the upper arc, with FIVE POUNDS to the right and the date 2015 along the lower arc, all separated by raised dots. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation of the bust. |

| Reverse description | An intimate and highly detailed close-up portrait of Sir Winston Churchill dominates the entire reverse field, executed in high relief by engraver Mark Richards. The design presents Churchill's face frontally, capturing his characteristically resolute and determined expression with meticulous sculptural precision, including the texture of aged skin and heavy-lidded eyes. The surname CHURCHILL is inscribed vertically along the right side of the design, set within a polished recessed panel that contrasts with the frosted portrait relief. The composition fills the coin almost to the rim, giving the portrait a monumental and commanding presence befitting the commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of Churchill's death. |
