It's hard to believe in these days of super fast travel (although at present not many of us are able/willing to) that a journey from Plymouth, England to the New World could take over three months. The Pilgrims and craftsmen landed late December 1620 at a place they named Plymouth. Sadly not many of those original arrivals would see the following year out.
To mark their Autumnal departure, the UK Royal Mint has issued this beautiful Two Pound coin. Enjoy!
