| Obverse description | The third-portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as modelled by Raphael David Maklouf, faces right wearing the George IV State Diadem and a draped neckline with necklace visible. The crowned bust is set within a beaded inner circle, with the legend ELIZABETH II arcing across the upper left field and PITCAIRN ISLANDS continuing along the right periphery. The date 2009 appears in the lower exergue beneath the effigy, separated from the legend by the beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Pitcairn issues coinage through a licensing arrangement rather than any domestic minting infrastructure — the islands have no mint, no banking system in the conventional sense, and a population that has rarely exceeded fifty people. These coins circulate in name only; nearly all are absorbed immediately by the collector market, making genuine circulation wear essentially nonexistent on any example.
