Obverse
The obverse bears the fourth definitive UK coin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank Broadley, FRBS, FSNAD, whose initials IRB appear under the head.
Reverse
The reverse, according to the Royal Mint, shows a celebration of the discovery of the structure of the DNA molecule, by John Mills. We presume they mean the design or engraving was by John Mills, not the discovery of DNA. The coin bears the inscription:
"DNA DOUBLE HELIX 1953 TWO POUNDS 2003"
