The World War 1 £2 coin is a rebel. It’s a chunky, gold, dragon-slaying oddball. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest times, people made beautiful things.
So next time you see an old coin, stop. Pick it up. It might be a piece of a forgotten world. Or it might be a button. But hey, curiosity is free.
And if you ever find a 1914 £2 piece? Don’t clean it. Don’t melt it. Just hold it. And wonder about the person who last touched it. They probably needed a bigger pocket.
