| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, modeled by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear below the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left periphery, with BERMUDA inscribed along the upper right. The denomination $5 appears at the base of the coin, centered below the portrait. The proof fields are deeply mirrored, contrasting with the finely detailed, frosted relief of the royal effigy. |

| Reverse description | Three polychrome enameled Gombey dancers depicted in full traditional regalia, rendered in vibrant colors including orange, green, blue, and red against a mirrored silver field. The central, dominant figure wears an elaborate conical headdress adorned with peacock feathers and a fringed layered costume, holding a bow, while two smaller flanking dancers mirror the festive motion. The legend BERMUDA GOMBEYS arcs along the upper periphery, and the date 2001 is inscribed in the left field. The colorized decoration highlights the rich cultural heritage of this traditional Bermudian folk performance. |
