The rarest of these are the 2-pound coins minted in 2002 that celebrate the 2002 Commonwealth Games and bear the flag of Northern Island. Only 485,500 of these coins were ever minted. ... Those coins are also relatively rare since each had a mintage of less than one million.
Are 2 pound coins collectible?
These £2 pieces were released for special occasions and some are rare. For example, a 1989 'Claim of Right' £2 coin had a mintage of 381,400 which makes it the rarest UK £2. However, it was 'demonetized' in 1997 when the bi-metal £2 coin was introduced. Examples of this coin can fetch prices of around £30.
What makes a 2 pound coin rare?
In general, the lower the mintage the rarer the coin, and the rarer the coin the more valuable it is. That means not many have been produced, which is more appealing to collectors as they're harder to get a hold of.
