Every year as soon as this begins, the Royal Mint, The Royal Mint, presents the commemorative coins in circulation for the current year. The five novelties corresponding to 2022 have already been presented and put up for sale within a portfolio along with the rest of the currency in circulation. In order not to make a too long entry, I will present you the coins one by one, starting with a 2-pound bimetallic coin dedicated to Alexander Graham Bell, who patented the phone in 1876, taking the invention from the Italian Antonio Meucci.

On March 10, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell spoke these famous words on a device he invented to transmit the human voice: “Mr. Watson, come here, I want to see you. Bell's assistant, Thomas Watson, who was in the next room, got the message and the communication was forever changed. Bell was granted a patent for his telephone, and his find marked the beginning of a technology that today remains one of the most important communication resources in our daily lives.

Actually the first telephone was invented by the Italian Antonio Meucci, who in 1854 built his first prototype, although he did not formalize his patent due to financial difficulties. In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell was the first to formally patent it, and for many years he was considered the inventor of the telephone.

On June 11, 2002, the Congress of the United States of America approved resolution 269, in which it is recognized that the true inventor of the telephone was Antonio Meucci, who called it the telephone. 

The reverse of the coin shows the main motif of the buttons of a telephone, in which the asterisk and the pound sign are engraved with the dates of birth and death of Alexander Graham Bell. His name appears to the left and right of the golden ring of the coin, in the lower part we see the designer's brand, Henry Gray. 

The obverse of the 2 pound coin features the traditional image of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark.
