Most £2 coins are boring. They have bridges or shields or boring things. Not this one.
The Mary Rose coin is a tiny, wearable slice of a 500-year-old disaster. It’s a piece of history, a possible payday, and a great party trick.
So next time you get change, don’t just throw it in a jar. Look at the ship. Check the color. You might just be holding £80 in your hand.
And if you do find a gold-plated one? Buy yourself something nice. Henry VIII would approve. He loved gold.
Now go dig through that couch. Adventure awaits.
