| Obverse description | The fifth and final definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as modelled by Jody Clark, is depicted in right-facing profile bust, wearing the George IV State Diadem crown and a drop pearl earring. The portrait is rendered with exceptional sculptural depth against a finely engine-turned guilloche field composed of concentric diamond-pattern hatching. The surrounding legend, disposed in a segmented arc with raised lettering, reads ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 1000 POUNDS, with the engraver's initials J.C. incused below the truncation. The overall composition reflects the high-relief striking characteristic of the Royal Mint's premium bullion issues. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays Philip Nathan's celebrated standing figure of Britannia, rendered in high relief, shown facing left in dynamic, windswept pose. She wears a flowing classical robe and crested helmet, holds a long trident in her raised right hand, and bears a Union Jack-decorated shield at her left side. The figure stands upon rocky coastal ground against a honeycomb-patterned background field, with a small security feature depicted as a latent-image disc to the lower left. The surrounding legend reads BRITANNIA · 2022 · 2 KILO · 999.5 · PLATINUM, with the motto DECUS ET TUTAMEN repeated in small lettering within the inner border, and the engraver's name NATHAN inscribed at the base. |
