In 2009, to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the Birth of Robert Burns, the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue Brilliant Uncirculated Robert Burns £2 Two Pound Coin First Day Cover.
His most famous work is perhaps 'Auld Lang Syne', a song celebrating friendship and sung every year on New Year's Eve in the English-speaking world. Words taken from 'Auld Lang Syne', as written down by Burns from an old man's singing, now provide a splendid reverse design for the new £2 Two Pound coin. The obverse design is the stunning portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley.
