Your coin is worth £2. You might get a little more on ebay because it is one of the fancy designs, but probably not enough to buy a burger and chips.
Quite often sellers on ebay try to push coins with "upside down" writing, which is a complete myth ( and a scam ). The edge writing is applied before the coin is struck. The blanks have a random chance of being either way up at the time of striking.
Re the dots - this is also common, where the pattern disappears in the groove between the two parts of the metal.
Another frequent scam is where somebody pops out the centre and reverses it, claiming it is a mint error. This is impossible, as the design is pressed into the entire coin in one operation after the two parts are assembled.
