In 2015, Britannia returned to circulating UK coinage on this definitive Britannia Two Pound coin. She first appeared on coinage in the second century AD, and first specifically on British coinage on the 1672 Charles II farthing. Britannia had been controversially dropped from British circulating coinage after the 2008 50 Pence, despite a well-publicised campaign by The Daily Mail to retain her. However, The Royal Mint announced she was to return to our circulating change by replacing the 'technology' design on the £2 coins from 2015 onwards. The new design was created by sculptor, Antony Dofort and represents Britannia in a modern era. The edge inscription of the coin rather fittingly says 'QUATUOR MARIA VINDICO', which roughly translates as 'I will claim the four seas'. On the 'heads' side of the coin, you'll see the fifth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. This is one of the first UK coins to feature the latest effigy of The Queen. Specifications of the coin are a bimetallic alloy of cupronickel in the centre and a nickel-brass outer ring, a total diameter of 28.40 millimetres and a total weight of 12.00 grams. It comes issued in the original limited edition packaging from The Royal Mint. A great opportunity to own a low mintage coin in BU condition - just 650,000 of these coins were minted for ordinary circulation.
