In 2009 the Royal Mint released a Two Pound proof gold coin - also known as a Double Sovereign - to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, the Scottish poet and lyricist.
The Two Pound Gold Coin - sometimes referred to as the Double Sovereign - contains 14.63 grams of gold (twice the weight of a Sovereign). The coin comes with both a Royal Mint box and the certificate of authenticity.
The reverse of the coin was designed by the Royal Mint engraving team and features the quote "WE'LL TAK A CUP OF KINDNESS YET, FOR AULD LANG SYNE" from Burns' poem (later adapted as a folk song) 'Auld Lang Syne'.
On the obverse side is Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, and the edge of the coins reads SHOULD AULD ACQUAINTANCE BE FORGOT.
