2019 Gibraltar Breast Cancer £2 CC Certified BU

Description

The Government of Gibraltar issued a new £2 coin in partnership with Breast Cancer Support Gibraltar.

However, only a limited number were released into circulation on the Isle of Gibraltar, making it one of the most popular coins of the year, but also one of the most difficult to source.

But not many collectors were aware of the secret this coin was hiding…

The Gibraltar Breast Cancer £2 features a special portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. It was originally drawn by Raphael Maklouf for the Gibraltar 90th Birthday £5 coin issue but has also been used on a small selection of Gibraltar coinage.

This portrait is currently not in use by any other country in the world, making any Gibraltar coin with this portrait on extremely collectable!
