Comment
Pobjoy Mint is delighted to announce the release of a brand new £2 coin to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the formation of the British Antarctic Territory in 1962.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it commemorates the 200th anniversary of the discovery of the Antarctic Peninsula by British explorer Edward Bransfield in 1820. The coin's design features a depiction of the peninsula, as well as a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The use of bimetallic material, with a copper-nickel center and a nickel brass ring, adds an additional layer of uniqueness to the coin.
