The Royal Mint unveiled a brand new £2 coin to commemorate the Mayflower voyage.
The Mayflower design was part of an impressive new five-coin collection for 2020 which also commemorated Team GB’s participation at the Tokyo Olympics, Agatha Christie, the 75th anniversary of VE Day, the reign of George III.
Designed by Jody Clark and Chris Costello, the £2 coin has an inscription that reads, ‘Undertaken for the glory of God’.
It also features an image of the Mayflower herself, together with the two years that are so important to this historic story: 1620 and 2020.

"Not only that, but in support of how proud they have made our nation - both in the past and present - we're delighted to have unveiled a Team GB 2020 50p coin in support of our athletes heading to the Tokyo Olympic Games this summer."
