| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting a right-facing diademed and draped bust of the monarch set within the fine silver center of the bi-metallic coin. The legend ELIZABETH II • BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY • is inscribed along the upper arc of the gold-plated outer ring, while TWO POUNDS • 2021 • appears along the lower arc. The artist's initials IRB appear truncated at the base of the portrait. The high-relief proof finish imparts exceptional detail to both the effigy and the surrounding field. |
