The Royal Mint celebrates the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games, highlighting its spirit of friendship, with this home nations coin set. Five commemoratives are included: four £2 coins, each with a flag in cameo, as well as a plaque, holding a royal design. The four Two Pound coins hold a clever reverse design by Matthew Bonaccorsi, depicting a celebrating athlete trailed by a running lane-esque banner. Each coin holds an inscription of a UK nation's flag, as well as a common obverse bearing Ian Rank-Broadley's elegant portrait of Elizabeth II. Below sits a special 35.00 millimetre squared plaque, depicting the Manchester 2002 distinctive visual identity. The plaque, like the outer ring of the £2 pieces, is struck in nickelbrass alloy. The bimetallic finish is achieved through striking the respective outer rings in cupronickel. We offer this pre owned set, of which significantly less than 4,000 are reportedly issued, complete with the original slab and presentation box.
