The 2016 Britannia £2 coin is one of the most sought-after circulating £2 coins released by The Royal Mint, featuring the powerful figure of Britannia, a long-standing symbol of British strength and national identity.
Designed by Antony Dufort, the reverse of the coin shows Britannia standing proudly with a shield and trident, evoking classical imagery and national pride. This was the first time Britannia appeared on a circulating £2 coin since the denomination’s introduction in 1997.
With a circulated mintage of just 2,925,000, the 2016 Britannia £2 is considered relatively rare in comparison to other commemorative £2 coins and remains a popular piece among modern UK coin collectors.
