The 2 Pounds coin issued by the British Antarctic Territory in 2008 commemorates the granting of Letters Patent. The obverse features a regal portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, showcasing her wearing a crown, which symbolizes her authority and the British monarchy's connection to the territories. The inscription 'BRITISH ANTARCTIC TERRITORY 2008' surrounds the portrait, emphasizing its origin and date. Made from copper-nickel, the coin weighs 28.28g, making it substantial in hand. While it does not contain precious metals, its historical significance and unique design elements make it appealing to collectors. The coin's limited mintage adds to its desirability, especially among those interested in British numismatics and Antarctic history.
