| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing a diamond diadem and pearl earring, rendered in the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley. The effigy occupies the central field with fine detail in the hair and drapery. The circular legend BRITISH ANTARCTIC TERRITORY runs along the upper periphery, with the date 2009 positioned at the lower right. The engraver's initials IRB appear truncated below the portrait. |

| Reverse description | A richly detailed central composition depicting Antarctic wildlife arranged around a stylised outline map of Antarctica. A large blue whale is shown in the foreground at lower left, its tail flukes rising prominently. Atop the continental landmass, a group of seals rests on rocky terrain, while a seabird — likely a petrel — soars in flight above them. To the right, a group of penguins stands gathered on the ice. The circular legend reads 1959 ~ THE ANTARCTIC TREATY ~ 2009 around the upper field, with ~ TWO POUNDS ~ inscribed along the lower periphery; the Pobjoy Mint mark PM appears in the lower right field. |
