| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Diamond Diadem, with a pearl drop earring visible, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The portrait is the fourth definitive effigy as used on Channel Islands coinage. The circular legend reads ELIZABETH · II · DEI · GRA REGINA · ALDERNEY C.I., with the date 2019 positioned in the lower exergue. A fine dentilated border frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | A densely scattered field of poppy heads and petals in varying sizes, rendered in high sculptural relief, fills the entire reverse surface, evoking the iconic image of poppies cascading from the Tower of London in 2014. A single prominent poppy bloom is centered in the lower portion of the design, serving as a focal point amid the surrounding scatter. The remembrance legend WE WILL REMEMBER THEM arcs along the upper left field, while the denomination FIVE SOVEREIGNS is inscribed along the lower right, both in incuse lettering set against the polished ground. |
