Comment
In 1999, this type was only struck for circulation since the Royal Mint Brilliant Uncirculated and Proof sets contained the Rugby World Cup commemoratives.No Brilliant Uncirculated coins were issued in either 2006 or 2007.
The design has also been struck over the years in silver proof, silver piedfort, gold proof and platinum proof.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pound coin featuring Elizabeth II (4th portrait; Technology) is that it was the first bi-metallic coin to be introduced in the United Kingdom. The coin, which was minted from 1998 to 2015, features a copper-nickel center surrounded by a nickel brass ring, making it stand out from other coins in circulation at the time. This unique design not only made the coin more visually appealing but also helped to prevent counterfeiting.
