UK 2025 RRS Discovery Official £2 Coin

Built in Dundee in 1901, RRS Discovery was the first purpose-built scientific research vessel and the last traditional wooden ship of its kind in the United Kingdom. Her pioneering voyages helped transform our understanding of Antarctica and cemented her place in scientific history.

Now, to mark both the 125th anniversary of her creation and the centenary of the Discovery Expedition, The Royal Mint has released this official UK £2 coin.

• The first time RRS Discovery has been commemorated on an official UK coin

• Features Gary Breeze’s reverse design of the ship in her heyday, with hallmarks of the Antarctic region

• Struck to superior Brilliant Uncirculated quality – free from the scratches found on circulating coins

• Housed in official Royal Mint presentation packaging, complete with informative details about the ship’s history

Whether you’re passionate about exploration, maritime history, or simply want to own a keepsake marking one of Britain’s greatest ships, this coin is the perfect addition to your collection.

Secure yours today for the official Royal Mint issue price of £17.50 (+p&p).
