A RARE £2 coin has been put on sale for 26 times its original value as people are advised to check their loose change to see if they could be in luck.

The collectable coin first circulated in 2002 and has since increased in selling price due to a tiny symbol which could potentially be found in someone's lucky purse.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the £2 coin, and to celebrate, The Britannia Coin Company is offering a special price on a rare £2 coin.

The coin, which was first circulated in 2002, features a design commemorating the Northern Ireland Commonwealth Games.

It is one of the rarest £2 coins in circulation, with only 485,500 having been minted.

The coin is also unusual in that it is bimetallic, being made up of two different metals.

The outer ring of the coin is made of gold-coloured cupronickel, while the inner circle is made of silver-coloured nickel-brass.

This makes the coin easily identifiable from other £2 coins, which are usually fully gold-coloured.

The coin is in good condition, and is being offered for sale at a special price of £52.

This is 26 times the original value of the coin, making it a great investment for any collector.

The coin is also available to purchase on The Britannia Coin Company website.
