| Reverse description | The central field features a stylised representation of the DNA double helix structure, rendered as two intertwining strands with cross-linked rungs bearing the nucleotide base-pair letters A, T, G, and C, commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Watson and Crick's discovery of the double helix in 1953. The designer's initials 'JWM' appear discreetly in the lower central field. The upper legend reads 'DNA DOUBLE HELIX' in a curved arc, while the lower legend reads '1953 TWO POUNDS 2003', all set against a highly polished proof field with a raised beaded border. |
