Agatha Christie commemorative £2 coin

In January 2020 the Royal Mint announced that a trubute to Agatha Christie would appear on one of their 2020 commemorative £2 poind coins, celebrating the centenary of her first published novel: The Mysterious Affair at Styles. The coin was released later in the year.

The design of the coin is made by David Lawrence.
 * “I pursued several possible threads to this design: each based around various problem-solving metaphors. I started :with some ideas based on a board game – the pieces bearing the faces of various characters in a story. I then worked :on some designs using the concept of a maze – the solution to the problem lying at its centre. But the final idea :was the one which was possibly the simplest to understand and execute and which reflected the universal truth of :every story: at the heart of every Agatha Christie Mystery there is a missing component – a missing piece to the :puzzle – which, when finally and ingeniously deduced, completes the picture and brings resolution.”
