| Reverse description | Half-length figures of the young Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten depicted at the time of their royal engagement, facing one another across an open book or album in the lower field. Elizabeth is shown in a floral dress with a pearl necklace, while Philip is attired in naval uniform adorned with medals and insignia. An engraved banner below the figures reads ROYAL ENGAGEMENT · JULY · 10 · 1947, with the denomination TWO POUNDS inscribed beneath. The peripheral legend arcing around the upper field reads Diamond Wedding of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II & H.R.H. Prince Philip, with the facsimile signatures of the royal couple appearing at the base of the design. |

| Additional information |
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands has no permanent civilian population and no functioning local economy — its coins are produced under license purely for the collector market, with no genuine circulation ever intended. The Diamond Wedding issue appeared in 2007 alongside a flood of similar commemoratives from British Overseas Territories marking Elizabeth II and Prince Philip's 60th anniversary, most struck by the Pobjoy Mint on behalf of multiple jurisdictions simultaneously.
KM#39a distinguishes the silver proof from a base-metal counterpart issued under the same KM sequence.
