Agatha Christie £2 Coins
The Royal Mint is commemorating the centennial of Dame Agatha Christie’s first published novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, with these special-edition £2 coins in Brilliant Uncirculated, Silver Proof, Silver Proof Piedfort, and Gold Proof limited edition presentations.
Agatha Christie Coins Design
The Agatha Christie £2 coin design reflects all the hallmarks of her infamous novels including her favoured method of poisoning – all served on a bed of jigsaw pieces which are symbolic of the ingenious plot twists we’ve come to expect from a typical Christie narrative.
This coin is an official Agatha Christie product created in partnership with Agatha Christie Ltd and marks the very first time the Queen of Crime has been honoured on an official UK coin.
100 Years of Mystery Coin
Featuring the words ‘100 YEARS OF MYSTERY’, complete with her actual signature on the face and Poirot’s oft-quoted “LITTLE GREY CELLS” phrase inscribed on the edge, this commemorative £2 coin is the perfect way to celebrate a century of literary excellence.
