| Obverse description | Fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, facing right, wearing the George IV State Diadem adorned with pearls and floral motifs, with a drop earring visible. The bare-shouldered, draped bust is rendered in high relief with fine detail characteristic of proof striking. The circumferential legend reads ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 2 POUNDS · 2021, with the engraver's initials J.C. incuse below the truncation. The mirror-polished field provides strong contrast against the frosted devices. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Ffion Gwillim, features a vivid coloured scene inspired by the original illustrations of John Tenniel for Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. To the lower left, a full-length coloured figure of Alice in her iconic blue dress, white pinafore, and red-striped stockings stands gazing upward, her hands clasped behind her back. Above, the grinning Cheshire Cat, rendered in warm brown and amber tones with striking green eyes, reclines upon the branch of a tree sculpted in high-relief silver. The inscription ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND appears in elegant mixed-case serif lettering to the right of centre, occupying the polished field. |
