The design by Bruce Rushin, the reverse’s central area contains a latent feature which, when tilted, transforms the image of four separate scrolls into an image of eight intertwined scrolls. The edge inscription STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS was taken from a letter written by Isaac Newton, acknowledging how much he owed to the work of others.

When the £2 coin was struck in 1997, it established a number of important milestones in British numismatic history. It was the first base metal £2 coin intended for general circulation, the first bi-colour coin of the United Kingdom made of two different alloys, and the first British coin to incorporate a latent feature as a security device..
