Fake two pound coin

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this will be of interest to anyone but got this in my change this morning. It's the correct diameter and weight with the graining and edge lettering perfect, at first glance I thought it was a weak strike but the coin feels 'greasy' and has no ring to it at all when flipped.

It certainly has that fuzzy look similar to the fake £1 coins.

It's the first fake £2 I've come across, if the queens head was sharper I'm sure more people would be fooled. I believe there's a website listing all the different £2 designs that have been faked but I can't locate it at the moment

Its difficult to say until we have a really good 600+ bpi scan. All these crappy phone pics are no use to man or beast.
