The reverse unusually features a collaborative design by brothers Richard and Neil Talbot, who have brought their skills together on each of the aircraft coins in this series. Their depiction of the Lightning II places the clean lines of the jet plane centre stage, with a darkened sky that seems to recede away from the speedy aircraft. Finished to Brilliant Uncirculated standard, this edition of the £2 coin comes presented in specially designed packaging that has been created with the RAF, including a quote from one of the test pilots lucky enough to fly the Lightning II
