An Ingenious Collage of The Who Icons
Obverse: A portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is centered on the obverse. Inscriptions include "ELIZABETH II," "D.G. REG. F.D.," "2 POUNDS" and "2021." This rendition of the Queen was designed in 2015 by award-winning Royal Mint sculptor Jody Clark.
Reverse: A Rickenbacker guitar with a colorized Union Jack graphic dominates the reverse. The guitar is angled like a pinball game and outfitted with a pair of flippers, a ball and a spring plunger. The neck of the guitar is posed breaking through a speaker stack, exposing a colorized Mod symbol behind "THE WHO" logo.
