The Royal Navy

In the years preceding World War I, Britain started to transform its naval technology, building a fleet to rival even the most powerful of enemies.

The battleship is often regarded as the most iconic and powerful of the fleet, helping to protect Britain's supply routes during the war.

Design

The reverse design features the mighty battleship. According to the Royal Mint, it was chosen as it "captures the strength of a force whose contribution to victory in the First World War deserves to be remembered." It was designed by military artist, David Rowlands.

The obverse shows the fourth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank Broadley. This has been used on all British coins from 1998.

Specifications

• Ordinary circulation version, which should be available from banks and post offices during the year.
• Specimen version, issued in Royal Mint folder. This has a superior finish compared with the ordinary coins, so will be preferred by most collectors. the folders are also very attractive and informative, and make interesting and unusual gifts.
• Silver Proof version, with the outer part gold plated.
• Piedfort proof version, similar but made double weight, with a lower mintage.
• Gold Proof Version, will be produced in 22 carat red gold, with the centre "gold sprayed" according to the Royal Mint, before striking.

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.
