The Shakespeare 2016 UK £2.00 Coin Collection
Issued by The Royal Mint, 2016
The Royal Mint struck three £2.00 coins in honour of the famous playwright, while also marking 400 years since his death. Designed by John Bergdahl, the images represent the three major genres in which the Bard of Avon worked: tragedies, histories, and comedies. The banner directly below is just a preview. You can find larger images of each individual coin below the cut.
In all three cases:
Denomination: £2.00
Alloy: Inner: Cupro-nickel / Outer: Nickel-brass
Weight: 12.00g
Diameter: 28.4 mm
Edge Inscription: All the World's a Stage
NOTE: none of the images on this page are to scale.
I was lucky enough to receive all three as a gift from a beautiful friend. This post is dedicated to that person.
