The 2009 Great Britain £2 Proof Piedfort coin celebrates the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, Scotland’s national poet and one of the greatest literary figures in British history. Struck in bimetallic silver and gilt with a deep cameo finish and graded PR68DCAM by PCGS, this coin combines cultural depth with numismatic artistry. The obverse features the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, surrounded by the Latin legend “ELIZABETH·II·D·G·REG·FID·DEF·2009”, meaning “Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith.” The reverse presents a flowing handwritten inscription from Burns’s timeless song Auld Lang Syne: “We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet, for auld lang syne.” Around the outer ring are the poet’s name and life years 1759–1796, with denomination TWO POUNDS below. This elegant coin honors the enduring legacy of Robert Burns — his words of friendship, equality, and humanity echo through centuries.
