    £2 coins: 216 coins, 1986–2026

    Commemorative £2 coins were struck in nickel-brass from 1986, and the bimetallic £2 that circulates today was introduced in 1998, dated 1997. Florin House flags every £2 for counterfeit risk as a rule of thumb, so each coin here carries that note beside its edge inscription. Circulating and commemorative issues are listed together with mintages and values.

    216 coins are listed here, 68 in circulation condition and 148 brilliant uncirculated or proof. Mintages run from 800 to 91,110,375 across the 190 coins with a known mintage. Values run from £1.99 to £1,831.11 across the 215 coins with a value. 51 Florin House collectors hold at least one of them. 114 values imported from Numista, latest dated 20 May 2026; 102 estimated.
