Description
From chasing cheese down hills to flipping pancakes mid-run, some traditions could only have come from Britain. Now, you can celebrate the quirks that make us proudly British with the Quirky British Traditions £2 Collection — a brand-new set of five Brilliant Uncirculated £2 coins that honour the wonderfully weird customs woven into our national character.
Strictly limited to just 2,025 sets worldwide each coin in this exclusive collection has been specially designed to capture the eccentric charm of a uniquely British tradition:
- Cheese Rolling – Competitors fling themselves downhill in pursuit of a wheel of Double Gloucester cheese in this gloriously chaotic Gloucestershire tradition.
- Maypole Dancing – Ribbons, rhythm, and community spirit combine in this joyful May Day custom, a living thread from our medieval past.
- Morris Dancing – A jingle of bells, a clash of sticks, and a whirl of rosettes: this timeless folk dance is the heart and soul of village festivals.
- Pancake Racing – Since 1445, apron-clad racers have dashed through Olney’s streets flipping pancakes mid-run—because why not?
- Bonfire Night – Every 5th of November, we light bonfires and fireworks to mark the failed Gunpowder Plot—a uniquely British blend of rebellion and revelry.
