  • Celebrates the incredible legacy of the world’s first purpose-built scientific research vessel and the last traditional wooden ship of its kind in the United Kingdom.
  • ⁠Struck by the Royal Mint to Brilliant Uncirculated quality.
  • The first time RRS Discovery has been commemorated on an official UK coin.
  • Accompanied by informative packaging detailing the history of the vessel and its impact on the scientific world.
  • The perfect keepsake for history and exploration enthusiasts.

An official release of Britain’s Royal Mint, we are delighted to present the RRS Discovery 2025 Bimetal £2 Brilliant Uncirculated Coin!

Built in the coastal Scottish city of Dundee in 1901, RRS Discovery was the first purpose-built scientific research vessel and the last traditional wooden ship of its kind in the United Kingdom. Its groundbreaking voyages significantly impacted the field of scientific research and revolutionised the world’s understanding of Antarctica in the early twentieth century.

Today, Discovery resides in a custom-built dock in Dundee where the retired ship remains one of the city’s primary visitor attractions. The Royal Mint proudly celebrates this icon of exploration on a UK coin for the first time as it marks both the 125th anniversary of the ship’s
creation and the centenary of the Discovery Oceanographic Expedition.

The perfect keepsake for exploration enthusiasts and those with an interest in scientific history, the reverse design by Gary Breeze features the ship in its heyday accompanied by hallmarks of the Antarctic region and the fitting edge inscription ‘DESIGNED FOR
ADVENTURE’.
