| Reverse description | The silver inner disc features a facsimile of Robert Burns's handwriting, reproducing lines from his celebrated song Auld Lang Syne — 'we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne' — rendered in flowing cursive script across the field, evoking the poet's own manuscript. The gold-coloured outer ring bears the legend 1759 ROBERT BURNS 1796 along the upper periphery, recording the poet's birth and death years, with TWO POUNDS inscribed at the base. The design commemorates the 250th anniversary of Burns's birth and was executed by the Royal Mint design team. |
