2014 First World War Centenary £2 Circulated Coin
In 2014 this coin marked the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War and was the first coin in a five-year series, on a journey from ‘outbreak to armistice’. The coin remembers one of the most significant moments in British history with a design that recalls the spirit, and with hindsight, the poignancy, of the rush to enlist encouraged by Lord Kitchener.
It is to this instantly recognisable image that experienced coinage artist John Bergdahl turned to create his stirring design.
