More Info

In 1914, Lord Kitchener's request for men to enlist drew an amazing response. Families, neighbours and friends who signed up together were put into 'Pals Battalions' so that they could fight together, side by side. Unfortunately, the results where that when whole communities fought together they could also be torn apart. 

Other £2 coins issued in 2016 commemorate the 350th Anniversary of the Great Fire of London and the 400th Anniversary of the Death of William Shakespeare.

We received our first delivery of brilliant uncirculated coins on 18th November, 2015.

Mintage for the £2 Army 'The Pals' circulation coin that you will find in your change is 9,550,000.
