To mark 100 years since the birth of Donald Campbell, two BRAND NEW £2 coins were issued by Guernsey in 2021.

Campbell is one of the most legendary figures in British history – he famously broke the land and water speed records in the same year in his famous Bluebird vehicles, before sadly passing in a crash during his final water speed attempt.

Together, the two coins form the perfect tribute to Speed Ace Donald Campbell. The first coin features his beloved Bluebird CN7 which he used to break the land speed record, and the other showing his Bluebird K7 with which he broke the water speed record. Both designs also feature Donald Campbell's signature, alongside his portrait.

And importantly for collectors, only 4,995 of these special pairs were released. It's unusual to see a Brilliant Uncirculated coin issued with an edition limit, let alone an edition limit as low as this.
