The answer is 2

We see it happening all the time when beta plus (positrons) come in contact with electrons, which are their anti-particles. The result is annihilation and two gamma rays. The gammas share (somewhat unevenly) the rest-mass energy of the electron-positron pair (2 times 0.511 MeV = 1.022 MeV).

If a proton and an anti-proton annihilate (this can happen in accelerators) the energy would be about 2000 times greater.

Some people can really spin a yarn. The end result of a matter-antimatter encounter are unknown. Only theoretical physicists speculate on such things. In a small event, I'd say you'd see large scale destruction and a transfer of immense amounts of energy to another dimension.

In particle physics, antimatter extends the concept of the antiparticle to matter, wherein if a particle and its antiparticle come into contact with each other, the two annihilate —that is, they may both be converted into other particles with equal energy in accordance with Einstein's equation E = mc2. This gives rise to high-energy photons (gamma rays) or other particle–antiparticle pairs.
