| Reverse description | Central high-relief composition depicting a female warrior clad in articulated armour, her long hair flowing behind her, seated astride a large, fearsome dragon rendered in elaborate detail with outstretched scaled wings, taloned feet, and a spiked, open-jawed head turned to the left. The dragon's wings and tail fill the field almost entirely, creating a dramatic, deeply sculpted design. The denomination '£4' appears in the lower central field beneath the dragon's body, set against the mirror-polished proof surface. No peripheral legend is present; the design extends nearly to the coin's inner border. |

| Additional information |
The Pobjoy Mint, based in Surrey, holds the distinction of being the world's largest privately owned mint and has operated the coining contract for several British Crown Dependencies and territories since the 1970s. This piece was struck for one of those client territories rather than issued under direct Royal Mint authority — a distinction that matters for series collectors tracking the full scope of Pobjoy's independent output.
The two-ounce format places it squarely in the bullion-collector market of the late 2010s, when privately contracted mints aggressively expanded high-relief, large-format silver issues to compete with sovereign mint programs.
