Trinity House was established by Royal Charter under Henry VIII in 1514, tasked with enhancing the safety of Britain’s waterways. For over 500 years, it has served mariners with dedication, maintaining lighthouses and other navigational aids while supporting maritime welfare and training. To celebrate this remarkable milestone, a special £2 coin was released in 2014.

The reverse of the coin, designed by Joe Whitlock Blundell in collaboration with David Eccles, features a lighthouse—a timeless symbol of the seas—encased within a depiction of its lens. The design is accompanied by the inscription "TRINITY HOUSE," along with the dates "1514" and "2014." The edge bears the phrase “SERVING THE MARINER,” encapsulating the enduring mission of this historic institution.
