This 2021 Celebrating the Life and Work of H.G. Wells £2 continues the Great Britons collection. The enduring novels of H.G. Wells have been immortalised with the first UK coin dedicated to the man known around the world as ‘The Father of Science Fiction’.

Featuring a contemporary tribute to the literary pioneer, this wonderfully designed UK £2 coin combines multiple stories into one stylised and unified composition that is emblematic of Wells’ most iconic work.
The 2021 Celebrating the Life and Work of H.G. Wells £2 is available as a Brilliant Uncirculated Coin, £2 Silver Proof Coin (Limited Edition 1,575), £2 Silver Proof Piedfort Coin (Limited Edition 675), and £2 Gold Proof Coin (Limited Edition 175).
