Struck by The Royal Mint in 2022, this Gold Proof £2 Coin celebrates the life and achievements of Alexander Graham Bell, one of the most influential inventors of the modern era. Issued to mark the centenary of his death, this release represents the first time Bell has been commemorated on an official UK coin, recognising his pioneering contributions to communication technology and scientific innovation.

The reverse features a cleverly constructed design by artist Henry Gray, incorporating visual elements inspired by Bell's groundbreaking work and legacy. The obverse bears Jody Clark's definitive portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Struck in 22-carat gold and finished to the Royal Mint's highest Proof standard, the coin combines exceptional craftsmanship with a distinctive bi-metallic composition of yellow and red gold.

Certified by NGC as PF69 Ultra Cameo, the highest grade attainable, this flawless example displays outstanding contrast between the frosted design elements and deeply mirrored fields. With a maximum coin mintage of only 235 pieces, the Alexander Graham Bell £2 Gold Proof Coin ranks among the rarest modern commemorative gold issues produced by The Royal Mint.
