In 2007, to celebrate the Bicentenary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade in the British Empire, the Royal Mint released a Limited Issue Slave Trade £2 Two Pound Proof Coin.
The reverse design shows the date "1807" with the "0" depicted as a broken chain link surrounded by the inscription "AN ACT FOR THE ABOLITION OF THE SLAVE TRADE" and the date "2007" with an edge description "AM I NOT A MAN AND A BROTHER", designed by David Gentleman. The obverse is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank Broadley. These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
