| Obverse description | The fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted as a right-facing diademed bust with naturalistic hair detail. The portrait occupies the silver inner disc of the bimetallic-style flan, separated from the gold-coloured outer ring by a finely beaded border. The circumferential legend ELIZABETH·II·DEI·GRA·REG·FID·DEF runs around the outer ring in raised capital letters, with the engraver's initials IRB incuse beneath the truncation of the bust. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic architectural composition celebrating Isambard Kingdom Brunel's great terminus at Paddington Station, London. The inner silver field renders, in crisp proof relief, the sweeping wrought-iron arched ribs and decorative spandrels of the station's celebrated train shed roof, viewed from below and extending diagonally across the field to evoke the grandeur of Victorian engineering. The word BRUNEL appears in bold serif lettering within the arch of the inner disc, with the engraver's initials r.e. (Robert Evans) discreetly placed to the lower right. The date 2006 is inscribed on the upper left of the gold-coloured outer ring, while the denomination TWO POUNDS arcs along the lower outer ring in raised capital letters. |
