Brilliant Uncirculated Coin Appraisal

1986 Commonwealth Games Brilliant Uncirculated Two Pound Coin

This item is a presentation card for a 1986 Brilliant Uncirculated Two Pound Coin, issued by the Royal Mint, commemorating the Commonwealth Games. The card itself is made of white cardboard or heavy paper, with various printed graphics and text. At the top, the words 'COMMONWEALTH GAMES' are printed in a dark, possibly black or dark blue, sans-serif font. Below this, a stylized graphic depicts a medal with a patterned ribbon, featuring red, blue, and white plaid-like designs. Within the graphic, a circular cut-out reveals the obverse side of a gold-colored coin, which features the profile of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a crown, along with the word 'OBVERSE' printed below it. The year '1986' is prominently displayed in a large, dark font below the coin graphic. Further down, the text 'BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED' and 'TWO POUND COIN' are printed in a red, serif font, while 'Royal Mint' is written in a cursive script below it. In the bottom right corner, a red emblem with a crown and other features, likely the Royal Mint logo or a related crest, is visible. The overall condition of the presentation card appears to have some minor wear, including a few small dark spots or smudges, particularly on the left side and near the bottom, suggesting handling or age. The card's purpose is to showcase the uncirculated coin, protecting it while also providing context.
