This is the list or rather images of my missing £2 GBP coins in my collection. As I have now started asking some friends for their help in completing the collection, I thought of creating this blog so that they know what is missing and what they need to look out when they get any coins from their purchases in any shop.
I'm sure if you know some of the stores well enough, they should oblige in you having a dekho at their coins and take away some of them away for me. Another alternative I've heard is that you can visit your nearest bank and change some currencies into coins of your choice and you should be getting some of these coins.
Happy hunting and collecting :)
