In 2015, The Royal Mint continued its First World War centenary commemorations with a £2 coin honoring the Royal Navy. This coin features a detailed design of a powerful battleship, symbolizing the strength and significance of the Royal Navy during the conflict. The design pays tribute to the Navy's critical role in securing victory, from maintaining blockades to protecting vital trade routes and engaging in key battles.
As the dominant naval force of its time, the Royal Navy was instrumental in shaping the outcome of the war, ensuring Britain's maritime supremacy. This commemorative coin serves as a lasting reminder of their immense contribution and sacrifices during one of history’s most defining conflicts.
