Rare £2 coin could be worth £100 after design error - do you have one?

People are being urged to check their loose change for a rare £2 coin which could be worth up to £100. A 'major error' has been spotted on the inscription around the edge of some of the coins.

The coin in question was minted in 2016 and features an image of the army on one of its face. However the words printed on the outer rim are thought to be from a different coin entirely.

It appears that some coins had the words "the whole city in dreadful flames" etched into them. These were meant for coins commemorating the Great Fire of London, reports The Mirror.
