The 2 Pounds coin issued by the British Antarctic Territory in 2009 commemorates the Antarctic Treaty, which promotes international cooperation in scientific research and environmental protection in Antarctica. The obverse features a detailed portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, showcasing her regal profile and the inscription 'BRITISH ANTARCTIC TERRITORY 2009'. The coin is made of copper-nickel, giving it a distinctive metallic sheen, although it does not contain precious metals. This coin is significant for collectors due to its limited issue and thematic relevance to global environmental efforts. Its design elements reflect both royal heritage and the importance of Antarctica, making it a desirable addition to numismatic collections focused on commemorative and territorial coins.
