To commemorate the successful bid for the London 2012 Olympics and the official handover from Beijing to London, the Royal Mint issued a special £2 coin. The reverse design prominently features the Olympic flag alongside the London 2012 logo. Two outstretched hands symbolize the transition, while lines reminiscent of a running track encircle the central design, emphasizing the spirit of athleticism and unity.
