Was the 2024 Winston Churchill £2 released into circulation?
No. The Royal Mint's circulating mintage data does not list it, and records no commemorative £2 struck for circulation after 2016. The Royal Mint says the coin is exclusively available through its 2024 annual sets and its Churchill collector sets.
Can you buy the Churchill £2 on its own?
Not from the Royal Mint. Its Churchill set page states that the £2 is not available to purchase individually. It came in the 2024 annual sets and in collector sets, one of which pairs it with a medal and a 1965 Churchill crown.
Who designed the 2024 Churchill £2?
Natasha Seaward, a graphic designer at the Royal Mint. She said she wanted to portray a side of Churchill less known to the public, so chose a portrait from his time serving in the 4th Queen's Own Hussars. The obverse portrait of the King is by Martin Jennings.
What is written on the edge of the Churchill £2?
PAVE THE WAY FOR PEACE AND FREEDOM. The Royal Mint says the words are taken from a remark Churchill made in late 1953, during his second term as prime minister. The lettering is incuse on a milled edge.
How many Churchill £2 coins were made?
The Royal Mint has not published a figure. There is no circulating mintage, and its coin sales pages run only as far as 2023-dated coins. The one number it gives is an issue limit of 5,000 for the set that pairs the coin with a medal and a 1965 crown.
How do I identify the 2024 2 Pounds - Charles III Sir Winston Churchill?
Check the weight 12g and diameter 28.4mm and the metal (bimetallic: copper-nickel center in nickel brass ring) against the specification table on this page. The reverse design is described above.
History and design
The Churchill £2 of 2024 marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Sir Winston Churchill, who was born at Blenheim Palace on 30 November 1874. The Royal Mint revealed it on 28 December 2023 as one of five commemorative designs for its 2024 annual sets, which went on sale on 2 January 2024.
It was never issued for circulation. The coin is absent from the Royal Mint's circulating mintage data, which lists no commemorative £2 struck for circulation after 2016. It was also never sold singly: the Royal Mint says it is exclusively available through the 2024 annual sets and a group of Churchill collector sets. No figure for the number made has been published.
The reverse is by Natasha Seaward, a graphic designer at the Royal Mint. It is a portrait of Churchill as a young man in 1895, the year he joined the cavalry, in the uniform of the 4th Queen's Own Hussars. Around it runs the inscription 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF WINSTON CHURCHILL, with the dates 1874 and 1965 on either side of the portrait.
Seaward explained the choice of a young Churchill: "I wanted to portray a side of him less known to the public and therefore chose a portrait from his time serving in the 4th Queen's Own Hussars."
The edge is milled with the incuse inscription PAVE THE WAY FOR PEACE AND FREEDOM, which the Royal Mint says comes from a remark Churchill made in late 1953, during his second term as prime minister. The obverse has the portrait of the King by Martin Jennings with the inscription CHARLES III D G REX F D 2 POUNDS and the date 2024.
Collecting notes
No recognised varieties or mint errors are documented for this coin.
Because the Royal Mint did not sell it individually, every Brilliant Uncirculated example began in a set. The 13-coin 2024 annual set holds it alongside the National Gallery £2. One Churchill collector set, limited to 5,000, pairs it with a Brilliant Uncirculated medal and a 1965 Churchill crown. Loose coins on the market have been taken out of one of these.
The proclamation provides for gold, silver and silver piedfort versions, with a plain lettered edge on the gold coin. The Royal Mint's 2024 range included gold proof, silver proof and silver proof piedfort sets.
The crown in the collector set is the 1965 Churchill crown, struck after his death. The other commemorative £2 of 2024 is the National Gallery £2.
