In 1994 to celebrate the 300th Anniversary of the Bank of England, the Royal Mint released a very special Bank of England Mule Type Error £2 Two Pound Gold Proof Coin struck in solid 22 Carat Gold.

The £2 Two Pound Double Sovereign Coin was first authorised by The Mint Indenture and was intended to replace the old two guinea piece.
Like the famous Sovereign, although twice its weight, the first £2 Two Pound Coin featured Benedetto Pistrucci's classic portrayal of St George Slaying The Dragon, a design which has appeared on most £2 Two Pound Coins since.

The 1994 Coin, however, bears a new commemorative design celebrating the Tercentenary of the Bank of England.
The Royal Charter creating the Bank of England was sealed on 27 July 1694 and the Bank opened for business shortly afterwards.
In style, the reverse of this handsome coin reflects the period in which the Bank was founded.

At the center sits Britannia Looking on a Bank of Money just as she appeared on the Bank's original corporate seal, with the crown and cypher of William and Mary above and the name Bank of England in familiar banknote script below.
The new design was created by Leslie Durbin while the obverse features Raphael Maklouf's elegant portrait of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II without the Two Pounds written.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
