In 2009 to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the Birth of Robert Burns, the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue Robert Burns £2 Two Pound Gold Proof Coin struck in solid 22 Carat Gold.
His most famous work is perhaps Auld Lang Syne, a song celebrating friendship and sung every year on New Year's Eve in the English speaking world.
Words taken from Auld Lang Syne, as written down by Burns from an old man's singing', now provides a splendid reverse design for the new £2 Two Pound coin.
The obverse design is the stunning portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
