| Beschrijving voorzijde | The fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, depicted as a right-facing crowned effigy wearing the George IV State Diadem and a drop pearl earring. The Queen's hair is styled in her characteristic short set, and the finely detailed bust is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The peripheral legend reads '2 POUNDS · 2020 · ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D ·' in raised Latin capitals encircling the effigy, with the engraver's initials 'J.C' inscribed below the truncation. |

Issued as part of the Royal Mint's ongoing Music Legends series, which launched with a David Bowie coin in 2020 and has since expanded to cover a rotating cast of British pop figures. The series was a deliberate commercial push by the Mint toward collector demographics that don't traditionally buy bullion or proof coinage — a strategy that's generated real debate among established numismatists about where commemorative issues end and branded merchandise begins.
Elton John received a knighthood in 1998. That detail does not appear to have influenced the timing of this issue in any particular way.
