Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the 1816 recoinage of the British currency, which was a significant event in the history of British numismatics. The 1816 recoinage introduced new coinage standards and designs, and it marked the beginning of the modern British coinage system. The 2016 Gibraltar 2 Guineas coin is a tribute to this historic event, and its design features the iconic image of Queen Elizabeth II, along with the inscription "200th Anniversary of the 1816 Re coinage."
