| Reverse description | The reverse features a three-quarter bust portrait of Captain James Cook facing left at the right of the field, overlapping an engraved square-rigged sailing vessel under full sail navigating stylised waves. Behind the ship, a cartographic globe grid occupies the left field, alluding to Cook's voyages of exploration. A ribbon scroll inscribed ANTARCTICA arches above the ship at the top of the inner circle. The commemorative legend 275th ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF CAPTAIN JAMES COOK surrounds the design along the outer border, with the denomination £2 displayed at the bottom centre flanked by two small lozenge ornaments. |
