Obverse:
The third portrait of the Queen facing right, designed by Raphael Maklouf.
ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F D
FIVE POUNDS
Reverse:
For the reverse Avril Vaughan created a design that relates directly to the Queen herself.
Windsor Castle, her Royal residence in Berkshire, forms a fitting backdrop to the Royal Standard, the Union Flag, and the Queen's personal flag.
The two accompanying pennants bear the anniversary dates 1926 and 1996, while the edge inscription VIVAT REGINA ELIZABETHA, besides wishing the Queen a long life, recalls the anthem sung at her Coronation more than forty years ago.
