Rare £2 Coin Could Be Hiding in Your Pocket – Worth Over £500!
Spot the Error and Cash In
A rare £2 coin featuring Lord Kitchener, the iconic WWI figure from the “Your Country Needs You” posters, is still out there – and it might be worth a fortune. Minted in 2014 by the Royal Mint to mark the World War I centenary, this coin usually just fetches its £2 face value. But a rare printing error has made certain batches highly prized by collectors.
What’s the Big Mistake?
The giveaway? The error coin lacks the words “Two Pounds” on the heads side. Coin Hunter, a leading expert group, estimates that about 5.7 million of these error £2 coins might still be hidden in circulation. Even so, finding one without a date is considered “very rare.”
From Spare Change to Serious Cash
The very first error coin sold in March 2020 for a whopping £500. Experts from Coin Hunter warned on Facebook:
“Check your coins that feature Lord Kitchener. If the heads side does not show ‘TWO POUNDS’ – you have an error that appears to be very rare.”
The coin’s value depends on rarity, design, condition, and trading platform. Coins with quirky designs, like the 50p pieces, have shown how collectible these errors can get, especially when snapped up on eBay or at auction.
