For 350 years, the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, has played a crucial role in 'perfecting the art of navigation' and accurate timekeeping.
To celebrate this momentous anniversary, we have struck a UK £2 coin that features a beautiful reverse design by Henry Gray.
The reverse design features elements that have played an important part in the institution’s history.
It also includes the edge inscription ‘PERFECTING THE ART OF NAVIGATION’, taken from the Royal Warrant signed by Charles II in March 1675.
