| Aversbeschreibung | High-relief effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, crowned and draped, wearing a pearl necklace and drop earring. The portrait, produced by the Pobjoy Mint, depicts the Queen in a mature likeness with elaborately styled hair beneath a jewelled crown adorned with floral and foliate motifs. The circular legend reads 'ELIZABETH II · 2018 · BRITISH INDIAN OCEAN TERRITORY ·' around the periphery, with the Pobjoy Mint initials 'PM' incused below the truncation. The antique finish lends the field a characteristic matte, antiqued appearance. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The British Indian Ocean Territory — consisting almost entirely of the Chagos Archipelago — has no permanent civilian population and no functioning local economy, making it one of the more transparent fictions in modern numismatics: coins are struck solely for collector revenue, with the issuing "territory" existing primarily as a joint UK-US military installation. Diego Garcia, the main atoll, has housed a strategic US air and naval base since the early 1970s, its indigenous Chagossian population having been forcibly removed between 1968 and 1973 — a displacement British courts have repeatedly ruled unlawful.
The Medusa issue belongs to a broader bullion and collector series capitalizing on mythology themes across multiple two-ounce formats in this period.
