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.

Guglielmo Marconi, the 1st Marquis Marconi is said to be the inventor of wireless transmissions and therefore radio. He won a Nobel prize for wireless transmission and founded the Marconi Company. In 2001 the Royal Mint honoured him with a special commemorative £2 piece. Beside the coins struck for circulation, they also made special collectors editions in Proof Sterling Silver and Piedfort or double the regular thickness again in Proof Sterling Silver. We recently acquired a small group of this very important commemorative decimal £2 coin in both Silver and Piedfort Silver. Each coin comes in a protective capsule. Supplies are limited and they are priced at less than the Royal Mint charges for modern issues today.

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.

1986 Uncirculated £2 for Commonwealth Games. In 1986 the Royal Mint issued its first ever commemorative £2 coin. It was also the first ever non gold £2 coin. It was issued to honour the Commonwealth Games held in Edinburgh, Scotland. This is a fantastic coin, especially as it was the first commemorative £2 piece, the first non gold £2 piece and it was the old large sized £2 piece. The coins on offer are the Uncirculated examples issued for real usage. They are now 31 years old and getting more and more difficult to get.
