The following is quoted from Clayton's, a major British numismatic site:
1997-dated £2 coins of the UK ("the one with the necklace") are normal circulating issues. All pieces dated 1997 have exactly the same design and are not in any way unusual or rare, as over 13 million were minted.

Why does your pound coin have a necklace and earrings on it?

Is the two pound coin with the chain around the queens neck work more money?
Your question actually refers to the £2 coin, and the answer is no. Here's an extract from Clayton's, an excellent British coin site: There have been rumours circulating in the UK that the two pound coin where the queen is wearing a necklace is worth a lot (the highest figure quoted to me is £75). There have even been rumours that they are being recalled and that banks and post offices will give a premium for them. This is an urban legend. 1997 two pound coins are plentiful, circulate readily, and are NOT scarce. Sorry to disappoint you on this. Banks and post offices will only give you two pounds for them. No less than 13,734,625 have been issued for circulation according to the Royal Mint. Hardly a rare coin. However, they are not too often seen as not only are much larger numbers of later coins available, but because of the rumours they have been picked out of circulation. There was a problem in the production of the new bimetallic two pound coins which meant that the release date was delayed from 1997 to 1998. In the meantime the portrait was changed for the newer coins minted in 1998. They issued the 1997 coins (with the 'necklace') anyway, in large quantities. They are not worth more than two pounds, nor will they be unless in uncirculated condition in a lot of years time (as will the 1998, 1999, etc coins)
What is the value of a 2 coin all one colour with the queen wearing a necklace?
All British coins minted from 1985 to 1997 use the Third Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II shown wearing a necklace, earings and a diadem. All British Two Pound coins minted from 1986 to 1996 were unimetallic (one colour) commemoratives. To correctly identify a coin for valuation, you would need to provide the country, year and denomination of the coin and any other distinctive features such as the nature of the commemoration.
What is the value of a 2004 Gibraltar Tercentenary Two Pound coin with the Queen wearing a necklace?
The Queen was only depicted wearing a necklace on coins using the Third Portrait from 1985 to 1997. The coin commemorates the Tercentenary of British rule of Gibraltar. These coins are still potentially in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth Two Pounds.
