COMMEMORATIVE £2 coins to mark the 300th anniversary of the Act of Union will cost up to £395, it was announced today.
That will buy one of just 750 gold versions of the coin (pictured), said the Royal Mint. A silver version with an issue of 10,000 will sell for £29.95.
The cheapest will be the `brilliant uncirculated' coin, of which 100,000 will be struck. It will cost £7.45. One side of the coin combines a rose for England, a thistle for Scotland and a portcullis for Parliament.

Yes, that is the one I have. (Paid only £14.95 for the 2007 set, with a total face value of £5.88.) I wonder how many people in Scotland will buy that gold version ...

They will buy the Independence version though. Hopefully strides shall be made in 2007, this being the 700th anniversary of the Scottish Kingdom under Robert I - The Bruce.
