2 Pounds - Elizabeth II Bird Island

Bird Island sits off the northwestern tip of South Georgia and hosts one of the British Antarctic Survey's longest-running research stations, established in 1958. The island supports globally significant breeding populations of black-browed albatrosses, macaroni penguins, and Antarctic fur seals — the fur seal population alone having rebounded from near-extinction following nineteenth-century commercial sealing that stripped the beaches bare within decades of the island's discovery.

South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands issues coins through the British Royal Mint under a separate territorial identity, with no resident civilian population to actually circulate them.
