The offical line from Cunard is that Queen Elizabeth 2 is named after the first Queen Elizabeth ship - hence the Arabic rather than roman 2.
However it is thought that she was meant to be named simply 'Queen Elizabeth' and it was the Queen who accidentally added 'the second' during the naming ceremony. This caused a problem because QE2 was built in Scotland, where the Queen is only the FIRST queen by that name - the 2 is thought to be a compromise to avoid causing a problem in Scotland.

How many different Australian 10 cent coins are there?
The Australian 50 cent coin is often used as a commemorative.The original 1966 was round and had an 80% silver content. Somebody figured out that the silver in the coin was worth more than 50 cents, so the coin was discontinued. All subsequent 50 cent coins were 12 sided and had no silver in them at all. The silvery appearance is due to a 25% nickel content.These are the different varieties of Australian 50 cent coin that were minted for general circulation including commemoratives and non-commemoratives.1966 - round QEII and Australian Coat of Arms1969-1984 - 12 sided QEII and Australian Coat of Arms1985-1998 - 12 sided QEII and Australian Coat of Arms1999-current - 12 sided QEII and Australian Coat of Arms1970 - 12 sided QEII and Bicentenary - Cook1977 - 12 sided QEII and Silver Jubilee of QEII1981 - 12 sided QEII and Royal Wedding1982 - 12 sided QEII and XII Commonwealth Gamnes Brisbane1988 - 12 sided QEII and Australia's Bicentenary1991 - 12 sided QEII and 25th Anniv of Decimal Currency1994 - 12 sided QEII and Year of the Family1995 - 12 sided QEII and 50th Anniv End of WW21998 - 12 sided QEII and Anniv Bass and Flinders2000 - 12 sided QEII and Royal Visit 20002000 - 12 sided QEII and Millenium Year2001 - 12 sided QEII and Centenary of Federation2001 - 12 sided QEII and Qld Coat of Arms2001 - 12 sided QEII and ACT Coat of Arms2001 - 12 sided QEII and NSW Coat of Arms2001 - 12 sided QEII and SA Coat of Arms2001 - 12 sided QEII and WA Coat of Arms2001 - 12 sided QEII and Tas Coat of Arms2001 - 12 sided QEII and Vic Coat of Arms2001 - 12 sided QEII and NT Coat of Arms2001 - 12 sided QEII and Norfolk Island Coat of Arms2002 - 12 sided QEII and Year of the Outback2003 - 12 sided QEII and Australia's Volunteers2004 - 12 sided QEII and Student Design2005 - 12 sided QEII and 60th Anniv End of WW22006 - 12 sided QEII and Commonwealth Games Melbourne2010 - 12 sided QEII and Commemorating Australia DayPlus there are a great many Non-Circulating Legal Tender (NCLT) 50 cent coins that were not for general circulation.
