In 2012, to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the Birth of Charles Dickens, the Royal Mint released a Limited Issue Charles Dickens £2 Two Pound Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver.
The reverse designed by Matthew Dent has been created from the titles of Dickens famous Works from his early writings 'Sketches by Boz' to his final unfinished novel 'The mystery of Edwin Drood'.
The obverse design is the stunning portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
