Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2014 Trinity House Gold Proof £2 coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting a lighthouse, which was created by sculptor and engraver, Laura Clancy. The design was chosen to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Trinity House, a British maritime organization that provides safety and navigation services for ships and other vessels. The coin's design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also symbolic, as lighthouses are an essential aid to navigation and represent the organization's mission to ensure safe passage for mariners.
