In 2023 to celebrate British Monarchs Collection, the Royal Mint released a Limited Issue King George II £2 Two Pound Silver Proof Coin struck in solid Fine .999 Silver weighing one ounce of pure Silver.
The British Monarchs Collection celebrates legendary Kings and Queens of the United Kingdom with each coin bearing an original coinage portrait of a monarch as it appeared during their reign, transposed from genuine historical samples using state-of-the-art technology and faithfully recreated for contemporary coinage.
The eighth coin in the series designed by John Croker from the House of Hanover features an original portrait of King George II struck in proof quality which accentuates the details and enhances the overall aesthetics whilst the obverse depicts the portrait of His Majesty King Charles II by Martin Jennings.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
