| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, diademed and wearing a pearl necklace and drop earring, as engraved by Jody Clark, occupying the polished copper-nickel centre disc. The legend BRITISH ANTARCTIC TERRITORY arcs around the upper periphery of the nickel brass outer ring, with the date 2022 positioned at the base, flanked by two small circular stops. The initials PM appear discreetly in the lower field of the centre, denoting the Pobjoy Mint. |

| Reverse description | The polished copper-nickel centre field features a finely detailed depiction of a phoenix in full flight, wings dramatically spread, rendered in a naturalistic style with crisp feather detail. Below the bird, a star chart diagram of the Phoenix constellation is shown with connecting lines and stellar nodes. A diagonal band bearing graduated degree markings crosses the field, evoking a celestial coordinate grid, with the inscription PHOENIX - FIREBIRD incused within the field. The legend SOUTHERN CONSTELLATIONS arcs along the upper portion of the nickel brass outer ring, which itself carries an engraved scale of right ascension or azimuthal degree markings, and the denomination £2 is prominently displayed at the base of the ring. |
