A celebration of industrial development and technological advancement.  The innovative 1997 United Kingdom £2 coin breaks the mould of conventional coin design by settling three new milestones in British numismatic history.

Not only is it the first ever base metal £2 coin to be issued for general circulation, but it is also the first legal tender coin to be made of two separate components of differing alloys, and the first British coin to incorporate a latent feature as an inherent security device.

Struck to Brilliant Uncirculated quality, the new £2 coin design for 1997 celebrates the UK's first issue of a Bi-Metallic coin into circulation in that year.
