OBVERSE: Right-Facing profile of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, with year of issue and country of issue. This is the third year for the 5th portrait of Elizabeth II to be used on this coin, the first being 2017. The portrait is by Jody Clark whose initials are displayed above the right shoulder of the portrait. The Jody Clark effigy replaces the Ian Rank Broadley design that was previously used between 1998 and 2016. The IRB effigy replaced the Raphael Maklouf Portrait which was in use from 1985 to 1997. The Isle of Man triskelion is not present on the obverse. This marks the third coin in the series to not display the triskelion on the obverse. The previous coins to not display the triskelion were the 1995 and 2017 coins.
REVERSE: Archangel Michael slaying the dragon. The small coat of arms of The Isle of Man is located directly above the halo with a Viking knit motif embellishment emerging from behind it and continuing around the entire circumference of the coin. To the left of the dragon’s head is a 24ct rose gold gilded coral privy mark, coral being the traditional 35th anniversary gift or symbol. The metal, fineness, weight, and denomination of the coin are displayed at the bottom, below the dragon. This is a tweaked version of a previous Raphael Maklouf design, who designed the 3rd portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The chemical symbol for silver was changed from a lower case a (ag in 2017) to the more common upper case "A" (Ag).
