| Obverse description | Fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted as a right-facing diademed and draped bust occupying the central field. The portrait is rendered with fine detail, the Queen wearing a tiara and with softly modelled hair. A beaded inner border separates the effigy from the surrounding legend. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation. The circular Latin legend reads ELIZABETH·II·DEI·GRA·REG·FID·DEF around the periphery. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Matthew Bonaccorsi, depicts a stylised map of England set against a dynamic composition of two flowing, ribbon-like banners that frame the central design. A circular enamelled roundel to the left displays the St George's Cross (the flag of England) in red and white. The denomination £2 appears to the right of the map in the field. The engraver's initials MB are visible at lower left. The surrounding gold-coloured legend reads XVII COMMONWEALTH GAMES 2002, with the date 2002 positioned at the base. |
