Rare £2 coin from 2016 could be worth £100 after mistake discovered

People are being told to check their loose change after a mistake was spotted on some £2 coins. Experts believe the inscription around the edge of the coin has a major error.

The affected coin was minted in 2016 and features an image of the army. 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. These were meant for coins commemorating the Great Fire of London, reports The Mirror.
