Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2013 United Kingdom £2 coin featuring Elizabeth II (4th portrait; Golden Guinea) is that it was the first bi-metallic coin to be issued by the Royal Mint that did not have a separate outer ring. Instead, the coin features a copper-nickel center surrounded by a nickel brass ring, which was a new design innovation at the time.
