| Obverse description | Fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, depicted wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown, with a draped neckline. The sovereign's portrait, designed by Jody Clark, is rendered in high relief against a polished field. The circular legend around the periphery bears the royal titles and denomination, with the engraver's initials J.C. appearing discreetly below the truncation. |

| Additional information |
The Royal Mint's 1kg silver issues in this series function as bullion with legal tender status, though no example has ever meaningfully circulated. The 2022 date places this coin in the final year of Elizabeth II's reign — she died on 8 September 2022, making any coin bearing the fifth portrait and that year a terminus piece for the longest-reigning British monarch.
The fifth portrait, by Jody Clark, was introduced in 2015. It remains the definitive effigy of the late queen on British coinage.
