Royal Mint coin celebrates 200 years of the National Gallery

The £2 coin, designed by Edwina Ellis, has been launched to mark the Gallery’s bicentenary celebrations and it portrays the gallery in its home in London’s Trafalgar Square.

The phrase is inscribed on the ceiling in the Wilkins Building of the Gallery, conveying the notion that the great artists of the past inspire those of the future. “This coin is a fitting tribute to a legacy of world-class paintings and the gallery’s unwavering dedication to preserving artistic brilliance. We hope that collectors enjoy this miniature piece of art for years to come.”
