In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).
Around the effigy is the monarch's legend: ELIZABETH · II D · G · REG · F · D FIVE POUNDS. Translated from Latin: Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith, followed by the value and denomination in English.
The reverse features a fanfare of three ceremonial regal trumpets, each with the Queen's personal banner.
Around above, the inscription VIVAT REGINA(Long live the Queen) separates the anniversary dates 1926 2006.
