2001 United Kingdom £2 Silver Proof Piedfort

Wireless Bridges the Atlantic – Marconi 1901

From the certificate:

  1. 2001 issue
  2. Silver Proof
  3. Piedfort (double thickness)
  4. £2 denomination
  5. Original Royal Mint red box + COA

This commemorates the 100th anniversary of Marconi’s first transatlantic wireless transmission.

Why This Is Strong

  1. Early 2000s issue (lower mintages than many 2007–2013 coins)
  2. Piedfort version (double thickness)
  3. Classic £2 bi-metal style design
  4. Popular science/technology theme

Earlier Piedfort £2 coins are generally stronger performers than later mass-market royal event coins.
