    This £2 coin celebrates the 100th Anniversary of Agatha Christie’s murder mysteries.
    As the author of 66 detective novels and 150 short stories, it’s no wonder Dame Agatha Christie is known as the Queen of Crime. Born in 1890, in Torquay, Devon, her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, was published in 1920 and, with her vision and ingenuity, she went on to define the murder mystery genre.
    The reverse shows in the central circle a puzzle, with the last remaining piece marked with a question mark ? not yet fitted. Depicted on the other pieces are some of the elements of many of Agatha Christie's novels: a knife, a gun, an ink pen and a bottle labelled POISON.
    Around above in the outer ring, the inscription 100 YEARS OF MYSTERY. Around below left and right, the anniversary dates 1920 and 2020, separated by the author's signature below: Agatha Christie.
