In February 2015, the Royal Mint announced a new reverse design for non-commemorative £2 coins to replace Bruce Rushin's Techonology design that had featured since the inception of the bi-metallic £2 coin in 1997.
The new design was by Antony Dufort and was his interpretation of 'Britannia' inspired by Christopher Ironside who's same design featured on the first decimilised coins.
In 2015 both the Techonology and Britannia coins entered circulation, however the Britannia design would only be minted for two years in total as after the 2016 release, the Royal Mint halted the production of £2 coins for general circulation.
£2 coins minted in or after 2017 will only feature as part of annual sets or Royal Mint commemative presentation packs.
Obverse: Jody Clark portrait
Reverse: depicting Britannia (designed by Antony Dufort).
