History and design
This is a collector version of the 2 Pounds - Elizabeth II – World War II. The history below is that coin's; the mintage, varieties and collecting notes on its page do not apply to this strike.
Two commemorative £2 coins were issued in 1995, and this is the one for the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. A royal proclamation of 24 November 1994 authorised it in gold, silver and nickel brass and made it legal tender for any amount. Like the other single-metal £2 coins of 1986 to 1996, it was issued to mark an occasion and not for general circulation.
The Royal Mint published one figure for both 1995 designs together, 6,056,506 struck to circulating standard, without a split. Collector references agree that the dove coin accounts for most of it. Change Checker lists 4,394,566, while Check Your Change says the figure is thought to be about 5,000,000 and notes that conflicting information gives a lower number.
The reverse is by John Mills. The proclamation describes it in one phrase: a stylised representation of a dove as the symbol of peace. Tony Clayton's reference notes that the dove carries an olive branch, and there is no lettering or date on this side at all.
The obverse has the portrait of Elizabeth II by Raphael Maklouf, with ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F D and TWO POUNDS below, and it is undated too. The only dates are on the milled edge, which reads 1945 IN PEACE GOODWILL 1995 in incuse letters. Check Your Change attributes the words to Winston Churchill. The coin is nickel brass, 28.4mm across, with a standard weight of 15.976g.
