| Aversbeschreibung | The third definitive effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, modelled by Raphael David Maklouf, is depicted in right-facing profile, wearing the George IV State Diadem, a pearl drop earring, and a pearl necklace. The truncated draped bust occupies the central field against a deeply mirrored proof background. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs along the upper left periphery and 'EAST CARIBBEAN STATES' along the upper right, both in raised Latin capitals. The denomination 'TWO DOLLARS' is inscribed along the lower arc, while the date '2003' appears in the right field. The engraver's initials 'RDM' are present on the truncation. |

This piece belongs to a commemorative series issued by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank honoring figures from the First World War. Sir Douglas Haig commanded British and Imperial forces on the Western Front from late 1915 through the Armistice — a tenure that included the catastrophic first day of the Somme on July 1, 1916, when British forces suffered nearly 57,000 casualties in a single day, the bloodiest in the British Army's history. His reputation has never fully recovered among historians.
The gold plating on copper-nickel was a common cost-reduction choice for commemorative issues of this period targeting the collector market rather than circulation.
