This rather special BookBench design was inspired by the sketchbook for the new £2 coin that will come into circulation this year to commemorate Jane Austen’s life. Look for the medallion embedded in the top.
The BookBench project presents us with the perfect opportunity to explore the pages of Royal Mint designer, Dominique Evans’ sketchbook, to share with the public some of the ideas and concepts that evolved out of her painstaking research and development for the final coin design.
