In 1689, Prince William and Mary accepted the Declaration of Rights before ascending the throne, marking a pivotal moment in British history by shifting power from the Crown to Parliament. This event laid the foundation for constitutional monarchy and parliamentary sovereignty.
To commemorate its 300th anniversary, a £2 coin was issued in 1989. Two versions were released: the English version features the Crown of St. Edward with the inscription "Tercentenary of the Bill of Rights," while the Scottish version highlights the Crown of Scotland with a similar inscription.
