Lot description:


PF 70 ULTRA CAMEO | UNITED KINGDOM. Elizabeth II, 1952-2022.
Gold 2 pounds, 1994. Royal Mint. Proof Mule with Double Sovereign obverse.
Struck to commemorate the Tercentenary (300th anniversary) of the Bank of England. A small, unknown amount of coins were struck in error, using the double sovereign obverse design. Upon realising the error, the Royal Mint sent letters to all possible recipients of the requesting any error coins to be sent back. Some were kept by the owners, perhaps realising this error coin would one day be a very sought-after rarity.

Design by Leslie Durbin. Edge milled and inscribed (incuse lettering); SIC VOS NON VOBIS.
