The 2012 Olympic Handover £2 coin was issued by The Royal Mint to mark the official handover of the Olympic Games from London 2012 to Rio 2016.
This commemorative £2 coin features a unique design by Jonathan Olliffe, showing a hand passing the Olympic flag, representing the ceremonial transition between host cities. The London 2012 and Rio 2016 logos are also incorporated into the design, connecting two major moments in Olympic history.
Released into circulation shortly after the London 2012 Games, the coin is a lasting tribute to the UK’s Olympic legacy and an ideal piece for collectors of sports memorabilia and commemorative UK coins.
With a circulated mintage of 845,000, this is one of the scarcer £2 coins in the Olympic series, adding to its appeal.
