Minted by UK's Royal Mint.
Obverse:
The effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is located on the obverse, surrounded by a guilloche patterned field bearing the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II," "D.G. REG. F.D." and "2 POUNDS." The distinctive royal portrait was created by Jody Clark, a Royal Mint sculptor/engraver since 2012.
Reverse:
Britannia stands in a protective pose upon the British shoreline on the reverse, while grasping a trident, olive branch and a shield adorned with the Union Jack symbol. Inscribed "BRITANNIA," "2021," "1 oz" and "999 FINE SILVER."
The unique
anti-counterfeit devices
cleverly incorporated into the design include: a stippled, light-refracting background wave pattern, a delicate lined texture upon Britannia's shield, a latent emblem that alternates between a trident and a padlock, and an additional thin frame encircling Britannia that is inscribed repeatedly with the Latin phrase "DECUS ET TUTAMEN," which translates as "An ornament and a safeguard."
