The 2 Pounds coin featuring Elizabeth II and the Red-footed booby is a striking example of commemorative currency issued by the British Indian Ocean Territory in 2019. The obverse displays a detailed portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, showcasing her regal profile adorned with a crown, which emphasizes her significance as a monarch. The reverse of the coin features the Red-footed booby, a bird native to the region, symbolizing the unique wildlife of the territory. Made of copper-nickel, this coin weighs 28.28g and, while not composed of precious metals, it holds value for collectors due to its limited mintage and thematic relevance. Its design elements and historical context make it a desirable piece for numismatists and wildlife enthusiasts alike.
