The reverse depicts a crowned numeral 2, which divides the date 19 05, all contained within an oak wreath tied with a bow at the base. This specimen is struck in .925 sterling silver and was produced at the Royal Mint in London. The coin is presented in a white cardboard 2×2 flip secured with staples, which bears the handwritten inscriptions 1905 and £2 in black ink.
