HC Deb 13 January 1988 vol 125 cc295-6W
Mr. Nelson

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if Her Majesty's Government have plans to issue any new commemorative coins.

Mr. Lawson

Her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to approve my recommendation that a special £2 coin be issued to commemorate the tercentenary of the Bill of Rights in 1989. There will be a normal version of the coin issued at face value, and collectors' versions, in precious metal and base metal, issued at a premium.
