Pack Sealed
To
mark the celebration of sporting excellence, in 2002 the Royal Mint issued a
very Limited Issue Brilliant Uncirculated collection of four £2 Two Pound Coins
to celebrate the XVII Commonwealth Games.
The
reverse is the work of artist and sculptor Matthew Bonaccorsi, a skilled member
of the Royal Mint engraving team, whose design was the winning entry in a
competition.
Representing
celebration, victory and sportsmanship it shows a moving figure holding aloft a
banner, the top of which is divided into lines symbolising the lanes of a
running track or swimming pool.
There
are four versions of the coin, one for each of the participating teams from the
United Kingdom. They are featured in turn, by their flags appearing in cameo.
The obverse design is Ian Rank Broadley's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
