Background Information. The United Kingdom 2p coin was introduced on 15th February 1971, with the creation of a new decimal currency system. The other two coins issued at this time were the 1/2p and 1p coins. To avoid confusion between the old and new coinage, all three coins had the word 'NEW' incorporated into the reverse design.
