Here is an image of a Royal Mint sketch made for the occasion.

The artist is unknown. It is not a great sketch.

Falkland Islands, 5 pounds, 1992.

Here is an image of a Royal Mint sketch made for the occasion, artist unknown. It isn't marvellous.

The ship that is depicted in the design is the Desire, which is depicted in the exact same way as in the coat of arms of the Falkland Islands.
