This 1995 UK coin features an elegant portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, designed by sculptor Raphael Maklouf. The words 'TWO POUNDS' appear below, with 'ELIZABETH · II · DEI · GRATIA · REGINA · F · D' above.
The reverse design, created by Michael Rizzello, commemorates the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations and displays a fanning pattern of flags, and the number '50' which wraps around the UN logo, with '1945-1995' below and 'NATIONS UNITED FOR PEACE' above.
This pre-1997 UK £2 coin is struck in 15.98 grams of solid 22-carat gold with a fine proof finish. Before 1997, Two Pounds did not have a bi-metallic appearance and were struck only for collectors.
The certificate included with this coin records a maximum coin mintage of 17,500 pieces, high-grade examples of which can be difficult to find decades after they were issued. This pre-owned gold £2 comes in the original Royal Mint fitted box.
