The Royal Mint unveils Agatha Christie £2 coin

The Royal Mint has released its Annual Set of coins for 2020, unveiling new designs that will be appearing on British commemorative coins throughout the year.

To mark 100 years since Agatha Christie published her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, the Queen of Crime will be commemorated on a £2 coin for the first time. Having sold over two billion copies of her stories, she is one of the most successful authors in the world, and this coin will celebrate her legacy of defining the golden age of crime fiction.

The commemorative set will be available to purchase from The Royal Mint website in a range of precious metal and base proof finishes. Prices start from £30. The individual Agatha Christie coin will be released later in 2020.
