| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, rendered in fine relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The portrait is after the fourth definitive coinage effigy modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear incuse below the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left and COOK ISLANDS along the upper right periphery, with the date 2014 positioned at the bottom of the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed portrait bust of Ludwig van Beethoven facing three-quarters left, depicted in period costume with a cravat and coat, set to the right of the field. To the left, a finely engraved view of Bonn Minster cathedral rises against the burnished background, and a French horn with sheet music is rendered in the lower centre of the composition. A facsimile of Beethoven's autograph signature appears in cursive script in the upper left field. The upper legend reads LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN · 1770-1827, and the denomination 2 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower border within a beaded inner circle. |
