| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, after the portrait by Raphael David Maklouf, depicting the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem adorned with pearls, roses, shamrocks, and thistles, with a drop earring visible. The engraver's initials RDM appear at the base of the truncation. The circular legend reads ELIZABETH II DEI GRA REGINA GIBRALTAR, with the date 2018 positioned at the base of the field, all separated by raised dots. The portrait is set against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Reverse description | A large, boldly rendered poppy blossom dominates the central field, its petals and seed head depicted in fine relief. In the upper left background, a solitary World War I soldier stands at ease in full uniform and cap, surveying a desolate battlefield landscape. The circular legend, reading AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN & IN THE MORNING WE WILL REMEMBER THEM — a quotation from Laurence Binyon's poem 'For the Fallen' — runs along the entire periphery within a beaded border, commemorating the centenary of the Armistice of 1918. |
