| Obverse description | The obverse features the fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, depicted in right-facing profile bust wearing the George IV State Diadem, with a drop pearl earring visible. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, characteristic of proof coinage. The engraver's initials 'J.C' appear below the truncation of the neck. The circumferential legend reads '2 POUNDS · 2020 · ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D ·' in bold upright lettering, distributed around the full perimeter of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Chris Facey, presents an artistic collage of iconic instruments associated with the rock band Queen, rendered in a bold contemporary style with selective gold-tone highlighting. The upper portion of the field features a grand piano keyboard, while a guitar neck with gold-highlighted frets and tuning pegs is positioned to the left, and the neck of a bass guitar appears at the right. At centre, a bass drum bearing the band's heraldic crest — a stylised phoenix with spread wings rendered in gold — is flanked by a microphone on a stand. The band name 'QUEEN' is inscribed in large gold-highlighted lettering at the centre of the field, with the engraver's initials 'CF' appearing in the lower left. |
