| Reverse description | A finely detailed, high-relief depiction of an armoured female warrior astride a large, scaled dragon rendered in an elaborate fantasy style. The dragon's expansive wings are spread across the field, its sinuous tail coiling around the lower portion of the design, while the warrior appears in commanding posture at centre. The denomination £2 is inscribed in the lower exergual area, set against the coiling body of the dragon. The entire composition fills the coin's field edge to edge, with no additional legend, conveying a dramatic and dynamic mythological narrative. |

| Additional information |
The British Indian Ocean Territory has no permanent civilian population and no local economy — it exists administratively to maintain the joint UK-US military installation at Diego Garcia. Coins issued in its name are produced purely for the collector market, with no meaningful circulation history whatsoever. The territory's numismatic program is, bluntly, a revenue exercise.
