British coin collectors are actively searching for a special £2 coin from 2011, which has risen in value to around £270 and sometimes even exceeds £1,000 on the collectors' market. This coin features an image of Tosha the Cat, the fourth official mascot of the Commonwealth Youth Games, commissioned by Pobjoy Mint on behalf of the Isle of Man Treasury. The coin's value surged in 2018, when it was named 'coin of the year' by enthusiasts on social media.
The rarity of the coin, coupled with the online hype, has driven its price up significantly, with eBay listings regularly surpassing £100 and sometimes reaching several thousand pounds
