History and design
England and Scotland had shared a monarch since 1603, when James VI of Scotland became James I of England. They were joined under one Parliament in 1707 through the Acts of Union, creating the Kingdom of Great Britain. This £2 coin, dated 2007, marks the 300th anniversary.
The royal proclamation for the coin came into force on 11 October 2006. It made the cupro-nickel and nickel-brass coin current and legal tender throughout the United Kingdom and provided for silver, silver piedfort and gold versions.
The Royal Mint's figures record 7,545,000 struck for circulation. That places it among the more plentiful commemorative £2 coins: of the 35 commemorative issues with a figure in the Mint's data, only five have a higher total.
The reverse is by Yvonne Holton. It divides the coin into four quarters, with a rose and a thistle in two of them and a portcullis in each of the other two. The whole design is overlaid with a linking jigsaw motif and surrounded by the dates 1707 and 2007 and the denomination TWO POUNDS. The Royal Mint explains the rose and thistle as England and Scotland, the portcullis as Parliament and the jigsaw as the interconnection of the two nations.
The milled edge carries the incuse inscription UNITED INTO ONE KINGDOM. The obverse has the fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the inscription ELIZABETH II DEI GRA REG FID DEF.
Varieties and errors
No recognised varieties or mint errors are documented for this coin.
Edge lettering that reads upside down relative to the Queen's portrait is not an error. The Royal Mint explains that the inscription is rolled onto the blank before striking, so it can point towards either face, and that there is no right or wrong way.
Collecting notes
The main thing to watch for is counterfeits. Check Your Change reports fakes of this coin, first seen in October 2016, with a very good reverse and a weaker obverse: the detail of the Queen is inaccurate and some of the dots around the rim are poorly defined or missing. It says the same fake obverse appears to be shared with fakes of the Brunel Paddington Station £2.
Genuine coins are common in circulated condition. The design was also struck as a silver proof, a silver piedfort and a gold proof, and the proclamation gives the gold coin a plain edge with the same lettering. The other commemorative £2 of 2007 is the Abolition of the Slave Trade £2.
