Two Pounds

Well we never knew they did, but the other week a parcel of them in Matt Proof / Brilliant Proof turned up in our shop. It appears that they were struck for an overseas dealer and almost no one knew about them. They were struck by the Royal Mint come in a Royal Mint display case with a Royal Mint certificate, so we assume they were struck by the Royal Mint. The certificate states that just 1,000 pieces were struck and the metal is 999 fine Silver, now this is a bit of a mystery. Shakespeare is famous world-wide, so the mintage is incredibly small and there are certainly more collectors out there who will want one, than were issued. A beautiful yet mysterious coin, we have a very small supply and if you want one, please get in quickly. This is Rare.

In 1995 the Royal Mint celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the End of World War II with a commemorative £2 piece. You have the Dove of Peace on one side and Queen Elizabeth II on the other side. Remember this coin is one of the old large-sized £2 pieces. Comes in Piedfort Proof (double the normal thickness of Sterling Silver Proof). Each coin comes in a protective capsule.

In 1986 the Royal Mint issued its first ever non Gold Two Pound Piece. It was a commemorative for the Commonwealth Games which were held in Edinburgh, Scotland. It has a Scottish Thistle in the middle of the Scottish flag, with the cross of St. Andrew. The obverse has the so called Maklouf portrait of the Queen. They were struck in base metal for general circulation and in Proof Sterling Silver for collectors. Today these coins are getting more and more difficult to find. It is the first non Gold Two Pound piece and a commemorative.

Each of these 2018 £2 Silver Britannia coin contains an ounce of pure Silver, and the design has been revamped. In 2016 they redid the reverse, to make it reflect the light better. Last year they also did the obverse, the field has cross hatching to make the light sparkle off the portrait of H. M. Queen Elizabeth II. These coins are gorgeous and I am sure you will love them. The price of silver is a bit stronger, but we have held our price of just £32.50 or an original Mint roll of 25 Brilliant Uncirculated coins for just £745.00. These coins are all Brilliant Uncirculated but they look like Proofs.
