2014 saw the release of a two pound coin to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Trinity House. In 1514, Henry VIII granted a Royal Charter to an agency now known as Trinity House. For 500 years, the safety of shipping in the coastal waters of Britain, and the well being of seafarers, have been the prime concerns of Trinity House. The coin features a lighthouse lens, an enduring symbol of safety on the seas.
Royal Mint Prices We have always thought the gold proof two pounds are too expensive for us to purchase them direct from The Royal Mint. We pride ourselves on being able to sell coins at very reasonable and competitive prices. For this reason we only purchase these coins from the secondary market in order to give reasonable prices on collectable coins to our customers.
