CoinDude26 New Member United Kingdom 4 Posts	Posted 07/09/2026 1:58 pm Hi, I usually buy gold coins to invest and then sell when I need the cash. But I'm also one of those people that collects the different 2 pound coins. Looking among my gold double sovereigns I found a gold £2 Coin, which I have the same version in the normal metal. I have tried to search google for it but I can only find the 2015 version and mine also has different markings near the Queens face. I was wondering if it might be a fake coin. Can anyone with better knowledge shed some light on this. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Spyro Valued Member United Kingdom 392 Posts	Posted 07/11/2026 02:38 am Yes. It's a gold proof £2 coin, ref K69 on page 99 of my 2025 "Spink" decimal catalogue.The confusion has arisen from someone (maybe the chap you bought it off?) having described it as a "double sovereign", which thanks to TRM's way of doing things, is actually a different coin. The privy mark is the 22/26. See pages 182 to 185 of the same book. Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinDude26 New Member United Kingdom 4 Posts	Posted Yesterday 1:59 pm I took it out of the capsule and weighed it, it weighs 15.98g. I took my time doing it as I had to get some white gloves and I put it into a better quality case while I was doing it. I have found some info on this and there are only 200 minted, and it is out of a set of coins. So. I would think it might be worth more to a collector than just the gold value?
