Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Agatha Christie Silver Proof 2 Pound coin is that it features a unique design that incorporates a hidden clue to one of Christie's most famous mysteries, "Murder on the Orient Express." The clue is hidden in the pattern of the coin's outer ring, which resembles the wheels of a train. If you look closely, you can spot the clue, which is a small image of a magnifying glass, representing the detective work of Christie's famous character, Hercule Poirot. This hidden detail adds an extra layer of intrigue and excitement for collectors and fans of Agatha Christie's work.
