History and design
This is a collector version of the 2 Pounds - Elizabeth II – World War I. The history below is that coin's; the mintage, varieties and collecting notes on its page do not apply to this strike.
The 2014 £2 marks 100 years since the outbreak of the First World War. The Royal Mint describes it as the first coin in a five-year series tracing the war from its outbreak to the armistice. Its subject is the 1914 recruitment campaign led by Lord Kitchener, which raised one of Britain's largest volunteer armies.
The Royal Mint's figures give 5,720,000 struck for circulation, all dated 2014. That is higher than the other commemorative £2 of the year, Trinity House, at 3,705,000, and well below the 18,200,000 Technology £2 coins of the same date.
The reverse is by John Bergdahl. It is based on the wartime recruitment poster showing Lord Kitchener facing the viewer and pointing, with the slogan YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU.
The edge inscription reads THE LAMPS ARE GOING OUT ALL OVER EUROPE. The obverse carries the fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, by Ian Rank-Broadley. Because the reverse has no statement of value, the denomination is on the obverse: the legend ends with the words TWO POUNDS. The coin is bimetallic, with a nickel-brass outer ring and a cupro-nickel centre.
