According to the Royal Mint:-
Celebrating the end of the Second World War, this fabulous bi-colour gold coin bears on the reverse a beautiful picture of St Paul's Cathedral, the great church that survived the Blitz to become a great symbol of hope to the war-torn nation. Floodlit, in joyous contrast to the years of blackout, its awe-inspiring and beautifully detailed architecture is faithfully reproduced in stunning in Proof quality. Its edge inscription bears the emotive words - IN VICTORY: MAGNANIMITY, IN PEACE: GOODWILL, part of the famous maxim that prefaces Churchill's history of the Second World War.Prices & Availability

If you want to find the value of a coin you own, please take a look at our page I've Found An Old Coin, What's It Worth?
Please, if you are going to ask us whether the £2 coin you own is worth more than £2, please, please, please read our other pages about them first, and even then the answer is almost certainly no. About 1,000 people every week read one or more of our pages about £2 coins. Hopefully most manage to find what they wanted. A tiny percentage, but still about 20 per week ask us whether a £2 they have found in change / in a drawer / been given is worth more than £2. The answer to 99% of these questions is already on our site. We do not have the time or patience to answer such questions individually.
