I have this commemorative £2 coin from 2004, commemorating the XXVII Commonwealth Games in England:

The portrait's details as well as a few things on the reverse make me suspect it could be a fake.

​Ah, I see.

I know little about detecting modern fake £1 and £2 coins, and I was kind of hoping my coin was fake this time (just because I want one in my collection).

I have (links below) two different fake 2 Pounds; yours is not fake - looks genuine to me.

@Frenchlover
When the real coins are modern, circulating and boring, collectors look for the fakes B.

@ZacUK
Thanks, I guess that's the last nail in the coffin then.
