This piece, celebrating Queen Elizabeth's 100th birthday, features a special portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley. In it, she wears the Grenville Tiara and faces left. In a nod to her enduring popularity, crowds cheer behind her, some dressed in Victorian garb and others in modern clothing, indicating the eras she had lived through. Her signature appears below the portrait and the legend reads: 'QUEEN ELIZABETH THE QUEEN MOTHER' and, within that, '1900-2000' and 'FIVE POUNDS'.
This is paired with an obverse, also by Ian Rank-Broadley, showing his fourth official coinage effigy of Queen Elizabeth's daughter, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. This is accompanied by the legend: 'ELIZABETH · II · D · G REG · F · D · 2000'.
