| Obverse description | Two conjoined effigies of Queen Elizabeth II in right-facing profile are depicted, superimposed to contrast a youthful portrait with the mature Ian Rank-Broadley effigy wearing the George IV State Diadem, pearl earring, and necklace. The juxtaposition commemorates the Diamond Jubilee by presenting the Queen at different stages of her reign. The circular legend reads 'SOUTH GEORGIA & SOUTH SANDWICH ISLANDS' with the date '2012' at lower right. |

| Reverse description | A three-quarter facing bust portrait of an elderly Queen Elizabeth II wearing a feathered hat, pearl necklace, earring, and a sash with a floral brooch, evoking her informal public appearance on Christmas Day 2009. The denomination '£2' appears to the left of the effigy in the field, and the Pobjoy Mint 'PM' mark is visible to the lower right of the portrait. The legend 'LIFE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH II' arcs along the upper periphery, while a decorative device appears at the base of the coin. |
