1984 author and former M.E.N. journalist George Orwell honoured on new £2 coin
Famed author and former Manchester Evening News journalist George Orwell is celebrated on a new £2 coin. The writer of 1984 and Animal Farm will be honoured by the Royal Mint, 75 years after his death. Coin artist Henry Gray created a design which appears to be an eye, but is a camera lens at the centre of the design.
