Reverse description The reverse, designed by Matthew Bonaccorsi, features a dynamic composition commemorating the XVII Commonwealth Games held in Manchester, England, with the Welsh nation as a participating team. At centre, a stylised outline map of Wales is depicted, intersected by a sweeping banner or ribbon motif that evokes athletic movement and international unity. A circular medallion at the left displays the Welsh dragon on the national flag. The denomination £2 appears to the right of the map, and the engraver's initials MB are visible in the lower left field. The surrounding legend on the gold-coloured outer ring reads XVII COMMONWEALTH GAMES 2002, with the text at the base inverted in medal alignment.
