| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modelled by Raphael David Maklouf, wearing the George IV State Diadem and a pearl drop earring with necklace visible at the truncation. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs across the upper field, while the denomination TWO DOLLARS and the date 1997 are inscribed in two lines across the lower field. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a polished mirror field, characteristic of proof coinage. |

GEORGE runs along the upper periphery, while the commemorative dates 1797-1997 appear in the lower field, marking the bicentenary of the town's incorporation.
