A Very Rare issue and will appeal to collectors of Decimal Coinage and trial collectors alike. Note: In 1994, the Royal Mint published a pamphlet proposing further changes to the coinage: a smaller, lighter 50p and a circulating Two Pound coin. The first option was to have a circulating coin of the same diameter and metal as the previous commemorative Two Pounds coin, but thinner and lighter, furthermore, the changes were discussed in The Royal Mint Club Bulletin issue 53, Winter Edition 1994 which states: 'It is important to stress that change is not a foregone conclusion and that the option remains of retaining the present system as it is. The aim is, after all to provide a coinage system which is acceptable to the public as a whole and not to indulge in change for its own sake'
