Lord Kitchener 2014 coin

Possibly the most striking of the new 2014 collection from the Royal Mint is the £2 coin featuring Field Marshall Lorn Kitchener. The design is draws inspiration from the iconic "Lord Kitchener wants You" poster that encouraged huge numbers of Britain's young men to join the "New Army".

 I, for one, am looking forward to owning one of these dramatic coins!
