| Obverse description | The third definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as modelled by Raphael David Maklouf, depicts the sovereign facing right, wearing the George IV State Diadem and a draped neckline. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH·II·DEI·GRATIA·REGINA·F·D, with the denomination TWO POUNDS incorporated into the legend. The initials RDM, denoting the engraver, appear below the truncation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by John Mills to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, features a large stylised dove of peace in flight facing left, filling the entire field with bold, modernist sculptural lines. The bird's outstretched wings, fanned tail feathers, and body are rendered in a graphic, layered relief style evoking both movement and strength. An olive branch, symbol of peace, is depicted to the lower left of the composition. The design is unlettered, with the imagery alone conveying the commemorative theme of reconciliation and the end of conflict. |
