The King James Bible, inspired by King James I, one of the most learned English Monarchs, is the most printed book in history. The majestic and poetic translation was created in 1611 during great religious uncertainty in England. The success of the new Bible was assured when printing of other versions became illegal. The reverse of this elegant issue cleverly combines a representation of the printing process with the quote from John 1:1, In the beginning was the Word. Just 20,000 will be issued worldwide. The Brilliant Uncirculated bimetal coin carries a 2 pound denomination.
