Comparative Rarity Score is a measure of coins availability in comparison to other £2 coin designs. High scores in themselves do not mean there is a small number of a coin in existence, just that the coins do not come up in general circulation very often.

Other coin related websites have adopted a similar method to rank a coins rarity. The Scarcity Index is based on a combination of mintage and users collecting and swap data.

The number of coins that enter circulation is shown where available. In order to generate rarity scores / listing positions, we make some assumptions in relation to coins in existance, but no longer in general circulation. This is based on the number of years the coin has been in circulation and on 2 pound coin bank bags checked.

The term rare as used on this webpage refers to a coins availibility in active circulation (coins not held in a private collection), not in terms of the number of coins that exist.

On 18 July, a new £2 coin depicting Jane Austen is being released to a handful of locations across the UK to commemorate 200 years since her death. But could it be the next coin to be worth a mint?

The coin will be released in locations that hold strong connections with Austen’s life – Winchester and Basingstoke – and there’s currently no figure given by the Royal Mint on how many will enter circulation. This has excited quite a few coin collectors.

But there’s no guarantee that the Jane Austen coin will be worth a small fortune like some of the others we’ve found in circulation. So with this in mind, you could still be in line for a cash windfall from some of the unique £2 designs that can be found in your change.

It belongs to a group of four coins that celebrate the Home Nations’ – England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland’s – participation in the games.

These four all look identical, except for a minor change – the image of the respective flag of the nation included on the front of the coin which is shown next to a running athlete trailing a banner behind.
