| Reverse description | Central high-relief bust of Captain James Cook facing slightly left, rendered in a formal portrait style with his hair tied back, set within a circular inner border. Flanking him to the right is a detailed depiction of a tall-masted sailing vessel. The names of his four famous ships — 'ENDEAVOUR', 'RESOLUTION', 'ADVENTURE', and 'DISCOVERY' — are inscribed around the inner circle. The legend 'JAMES COOK' arcs across the upper field, flanked by the birth and death years '1728' and '1779' at left and right respectively. The denomination 'TWO POUNDS' is boldly inscribed along the lower rim, with the Pobjoy Mint mark 'PM' visible at the lower left. |
