The 1998 Guernsey 2 Pounds “Brimstone Butterfly” silver coin is a beautiful wildlife commemorative dedicated to nature conservation and one of Europe’s most recognizable butterfly species. Issued by the Bailiwick of Guernsey and certified PR68 Deep Cameo by PCGS, this elegant proof coin belongs to the WWF “Conserving Nature” series, highlighting the importance of protecting fragile ecosystems and rare fauna. The Brimstone butterfly, known for its vivid wing shape and graceful flight, has long symbolized renewal, biodiversity, and the beauty of the natural world.

The reverse features a finely engraved Brimstone butterfly resting among wild grasses and flowering plants. The detailed wings display delicate veins, curved contours, and subtle textures that contrast beautifully against mirrored proof fields.

The inscription “WWF Conserving Nature” arches above the scene together with the date 1998, reinforcing the environmental theme of the issue. The obverse presents the crowned portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, surrounded by the inscriptions of the Bailiwick of Guernsey and the denomination Two Pounds. Her finely detailed hair, royal diadem, necklace, and classical portrait style enhance the coin’s refined appearance.

Struck in silver with outstanding proof quality, this PR68DCAM certified example offers deeply mirrored surfaces and frosted relief details. Highly collectible among fans of butterflies, insects, wildlife coins, environmental themes, British Isles numismatics, and WWF conservation issues, this Guernsey release is both artistic and historically meaningful.
