The image, which was designed by Jody Clark, shows the monarch wearing her Royal Diamond Diadem, the crown that she traditionally wears at the State Opening of Parliament. Her name and abbreviated Latin title, "ELIZABETH II D G REG F D," join the face value of the coin, "5 POUNDS," on the rim.
Reverse: The reverse bears a portrait of Prince Philip by Ian Rank-Broadley. Philip approved the right-side effigy in 2008. Next to him are the inscriptions "HRH (His Royal Highness) THE PRINCE PHILIP." His title, "DUKE OF EDINBURGH," and the dates of his life, "1921-2021," are below.
